About the artist: Aristide Maillol, born in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France in 1861, was an internationally acclaimed sculptor, painter, and printmaker who left an indelible mark on the art world. His work is characterized by a profound appreciation for the female form, which he depicted with a unique blend of grace, elegance, and simplicity. Maillol began his career as a painter and tapestry designer, but after a bout with myopia, he shifted his focus to sculpture, a medium that would define his artistic legacy. His sculptures are known for their sense of calm and stability, a stark contrast to the more dynamic and expressive works of his contemporary, Auguste Rodin. In his later years, Maillol returned to printmaking, creating a series of lithographs and woodcuts that showcased his unparalleled ability to capture the beauty and sensuality of the female form. His lithographs, such as "Femme nue au repos, vue de face," exemplify his minimalist aesthetic and his exquisite attention to detail. Throughout his career, Maillol remained committed to his artistic vision, resisting the allure of contemporary trends and movements. His work embodies a timeless aesthetic, one that continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists worldwide. Maillol passed away in 1944, leaving behind a rich body of work that continues to be celebrated for its beauty, simplicity, and elegance. His sculptures, paintings, and prints can be found in major art institutions around the world, serving as a testament to his enduring contribution to the world of art. Maillol's lithograph "Femme nue au repos, vue de face," part of a limited-edition portfolio, is a rare opportunity for art collectors and enthusiasts to own a piece of this artist's exceptional legacy. This vintage gem, numbered 889 out of 1000, is not just a work of art, but a piece of history that reflects Maillol's lifelong dedication to the celebration of the female form.
