Product information "Aristide Maillol: Sculpture 'Baigneuse debout drapée - Standing bather with towel' (1900), reduction in bronze"
Aristide Maillol's main theme is the female nude, which - although developed from a live model - he executed as a harmonious, sensual femininity par excellence, dispensing with individual features. The 'Standing Bather with Cloth' shows that Maillol had found his own formal language early on, which he hardly changed over the following decades. Fine bronze, cast by hand using the lost wax technique and patinated brown like the original. Moulded directly from the original and reduced in size (reduction). Limited edition of 980 copies, individually numbered and bearing the signature and foundry mark taken from the original. ars mundi exclusive edition, published in collaboration with the Kunsthalle Bremen. With numbered certificate of authenticity and limitation. Size 38.5 x 10 x 10 cm (H/W/D). Weight 3.5 kg. 'The important French sculptor Aristide Maillol is represented by several works in the collection of the Kunsthalle Bremen. The artist combined a lifelong fascination with the motif of the female nude with a reduced, classical formal language. 'Standing Bather with Cloth' is a particularly beautiful example of a figure at rest in itself.' (Prof. Dr Christoph Grunenberg, Director of the Kunsthalle Bremen)
