Maillol was a great lover of the female form. One female in particular, actually.
He was quite comfortable with his focus. "Commissioned in 1905 to make a monument to the tribune and revolutionary Louis-Auguste Blanqui (1805-81), he was asked byt eh committee what form he proposed to give it. He replied, 'Eh! Une femme nue.'"
