Aristide Maillol
Aristide Maillol (1861 Banyuls-sur-Mer - 1944 ebenda) nach
"La Méditerranée" (Das Mittelmeer). Originaltitel
Bronze, dunkel patiniert. Monogr.; Posthumer, zeitgenössischer Guss (Ende 20./Anfang 21. Jh.) nach der berühmten Skulptur von 1905, welche durch ihre ausgewogene Komposition als die berühmteste und bedeutendste in Maillols Oeuvre gilt. Auf einer rechteckigen Plinthe sitzt, völlig in sich ruhend, ein weiblicher Akt mit aufgestütztem linken Bein und hierauf gelehntem Arm. 1904 lernte Maillol den Kunstsammler und Mäzen Harry Graf Kessler kennen, der ihn mit der lebensgroßen Aktskulptur beauftragte. 1905 wurde die fertiggestellte Gipsfassung mit großem Erfolg im Salon d’Automne in Paris (noch unter dem Titel "Femme") ausgestellt. Bis um 1907 vollendete er die Skulptur in Kalkstein (heute in der Sammlung Oskar Reinhart in Winterthur); 1923-1927 entstand überdies eine Marmor-Version (im Musee d'Orsay, Paris). Nach dem II. Weltkrieg wurden posthum erste große Bronzegüsse ausgeführt: u.a. im MoMA in New York, im Musee d'Orsay und im Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. Ein weiteres Bronze-Exemplar diente auch als plastischer Schmuck für Maillols eigenes Grabmal. Ca. 91 cm x 96 cm x 63 cm.
After Aristide Maillol (1861 - 1944). Dark patinated bronze. Monogrammed. Contemporary posthumous late 20th or early 21st C. cast after the well-known sculpture entitled "La Méditerranée" modelled by Maillol in 1905.
