Maillol – A Different View Scheidegger&Spiess 9783039421251 French sculptor

French sculptor Aristide Maillol (1861–1944) is sometimes referred to as the “Cйzanne of sculpture” as he, like Paul Cйzanne in painting, paved the way for abstraction. Though Maillol began as a painter, he produced an impressive collection of sculptures, many featuring women, over the course of his career. This book, published in conjunction with a comprehensive Maillol exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zьrich, examines how the male gaze operates in Maillol’s art and the changing perceptions of this gaze from the 19th century to today. A photo essay by Franca Candrian contrasts Maillol’s Vйnus au collier with works by modern and contemporary women artists from the Kunsthaus Zьrich’s collection. An essay by feminist art historian and curator Catherine McCormack explores the presence of art depicting female nudes – in contemporary museums. Supplemented by an introduction by Philippe Bьttner, curator of Kunsthaus Zьrich’s permanent collection, the book thus offers a fresh and unique view of Maillol and his art. Text in English and German.
