Disheartened with the teaching of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and very impressed by the art of Paul Gauguin and Maurice Denis, who met and encouraged him, Maillol became interested in tapestry. He regularly exhibited his tapestries, sculptured wood, miniatures and enamelled terracotta at the Gallery of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. In 1895, he set up a tapestry workshop in Banyuls.
