Alfred
Maurer (1868 - 1932) was born in New York City, the son of Currier
and Ives lithographer Louis Maurer. Maurer worked in Paris from 1897 - 1914 when
he was forced to return to the United States because of the political turmoil
leading to World War I. He derived some of his early influence from W. M. Chase
and his later influences from Whistler, Matisse, and the Fauves (1906-1914.) His
later work left him regarded as both a cubist and an expressionist.
