EXHIBITION: The Masters of Independent Art 1895-1937, Petit Palais, 1937, Paris (room X, no. 36, plaster). This plaster relief is an intermediate model in the realization of the stone relief of the Monument aux Morts of the town of Banuyls, located on the Ile Grosse in the bay of the town and inaugurated in 1933. In 1922, Maillol had already explored the idea of a relief depicting a soldier falling backwards in a cenotaph project for the town of Tautavel, in the Perpignan region. It was finally for the War Memorial in his native town of Banyuls that Maillol incorporated the high relief of the dying soldier into the central part of the Monument, framed by two other lateral high reliefs. The plasterwork corresponds to the original work executed in granite, which is now deposited behind the town hall for conservation reasons: on the site of the Ile Grosse there is now a bronze cast.
