Aristide Joseph Bonaventure Maillol (1861-1944) was a French sculptor, painter, and printmaker.

Aristide Maillol focused almost exclusively on a single subject--the female nude. Depicting a handful of models again and again, Maillol used the female form as a means to explore the way mass, volume, line, and contour occupy space. Influenced by classical art, his work evokes its serenity and harmony, but his own approach to the human form opened up a new perspective in modern sculpture.
