Hele livet1937
Recognition at the 1937 World's Fair

Withdraws to Banyuls as war breaks out

The Nazis seize his works
During the German occupation of France dozens of Maillol's works were seized by the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg; the Jeu de Paume database lists thirty of them. His Head of Flora was later found in the hoard of Cornelius Gurlitt, son of Hitler's art dealer.

The circumstances of his death
By some accounts, the 82-year-old Maillol died in a car accident: on the way home in a thunderstorm, the car in which he was a passenger skidded off the road and rolled over. Others call the accident the official version and say that the sculptor, having had no news of Dina Vierny, whom he believed arrested (she was Jewish), took his own life.
