L’Été sans bras is a sculpture made by Aristide Maillol in 1911.
Design
[edit]L’Été sans bras ("without arms") is one of the versions of Maillol's L'Été. The project started as just a torso, and in successive versions a head, arms and legs were added.
The finished version (L'Été) was commission by the Russian Ivan Morozov at the beginning of the 20th century. It was one of Maillo's favourites; he said that "This piece of art is favored by Maillol who believes that 'arms hide profiles'."[2] However, for several years the sculpture remained only as the uncompleted plasterwork L’Été sans bras in Maillol's studio.
Public domain
[edit]Like the artist's other works, L'Été sans bras has been in the public domain in France since 1 January 2015.[3][4]
