Entrusted to art historian Valérie Da Costa, a specialist in modern and contemporary sculpture, the exhibition Maillol: Free Form shows how Maillol’s work is part of a rethought history of sculpture of the XXth century.
The exhibition highlights as many notions that were at the heart of the sculptor’s thought and gesture: variations on a motif, differences and repetitions, geometry and fragments of form as a whole.
The exhibition thus presents unpublished or rarely exhibited works: drawings, sculptures in terracotta and bronze, sketchbooks which reveal this sculptural modernity which irrigates Maillol’s work and allows us to reread his work differently in the light of the challenges twentieth-century aesthetics.
An exhibition catalog has been published by the gallery, with texts by Valérie da Costa and Thierry Dufrêne, professor of contemporary art history at the University of Nanterre.

Aristide Maillol was one of the most famous sculptors of his day. His work, based on ample forms developed from the female nude but simplified to the extreme of a pure outline, is silent and represents a true artistic revolution that would lead to the emergence of abstraction.
