Specialist note

When discussing Alfred Maurer's paintings of young girls, Sheldon Reich wrote, "--Maurer was an expressionist--a man for whom painting was essentially a visceral activity; a man who boldly used form and color to function as the language of his emotions." (Alfred H. Maurer, 1868-1932, Washington, D.C., 1973, p. 93)
