Pendant ce temps, chez Aristide Maillol
La vie entière1905
First private and state commissions
From 1905 Maillol began receiving private and state commissions and, gaining confidence, started entering competitions for monuments.
1908
Journey to Greece with Harry Kessler
His new friend, the German patron Count Harry Kessler, made possible Maillol's dream of seeing the monuments of ancient Greece. Studying the sculptures of the Parthenon and of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, Maillol grew confident in his method: “Our age no longer needs gods. It remains for me to follow nature.”
1910
A commission from Ivan Morozov
In 1910 Maurice Denis introduced Maillol to the Russian collector Ivan Morozov. For the music salon of Morozov's Moscow mansion on Prechistenka, Maillol created four allegorical sculptures — Pomona, Flora, Spring and Summer.
