Sixth Eclogue: Hylas Left by a Stream (Hylas disparu dans une fontaine) Possibly 1926

"Sixth Eclogue: Hylas Left by a Stream (Hylas disparu dans une fontaine)" is a wood-engraving by French sculptor and printmaker Aristide Maillol. Dated possibly from 1926, this work is a simplified depiction of a young man (Hylas) laying in a stream, framed within a square. The image is primarily composed of bold orange lines, creating a geometric and graphic style common in Maillol's work. The artwork uses the Greek myth of Hylas to explore themes of nature and the human body. The artwork's graphic style and simplified forms are characteristic of Maillol's artistic practice, which often drew inspiration from ancient Greek sculpture.
