Page "Aristide Maillol" Paragraph 10

He died in Banyuls at the age of eighty-three, in an automobile accident.

While driving home during a thunderstorm, the car in which he was a passenger skidded off the road and rolled over.

A large collection of Maillol's work is maintained at the Musée Maillol in Paris, which was established by Dina Vierny, Maillol's model and platonic companion during the last 10 years of his life.

His home a few kilometers outside Banyuls, also the site of his final resting place, has been turned into a museum where a number of his works and sketches are displayed.
