Book excerpt: "Alfred Maurer (1868-1932) was a prolific artist who explored numerous early twentieth century styles. Among the first American artists who went to Paris in the early 1900s to experience the new artistic movements arising there, he was particularly influenced by Henri Matisse's bold, dramatic use of color and was one of the first Americans to embrace fauvism in his art." "From his early traditional portraits to his fauvist still lifes and landscapes to his striking, eccentric nude figures. Maurer's diversity of style and subject is remarkable. Featuring a lucid, probing essay by Daphne Anderson Deeds, this lavishly illustrated book draws from the single largest public collection of Maurer's paintings and works on paper to reveal the impressive range of this significant artist's work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
