拍品專文

According to Stacey B. Epstein, Maurer's compositions of abstracted heads "reconsider this subject in Cubist terms, distilling human form into a reductive geometric vocabulary...[these works] still clearly reference human form, but not in a corporeal fashion; rather, they present the figure in abstract crystalline terms, fragmented in form." (Alfred Maurer: At the Vanguard of Modernism, exhibition catalogue, Andover, Massachusetts, 2015, p. 192)
