"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.

Smith College art professors Davis and Leshko showcase 100 paintings and sculptures from their institution's vaunted collection, encompassing Americans from Gilbert Stuart to Louise Nevelson and Europeans from Corot to Henry Moore. In the introduction, how and why Smith became steward of such a fine body of work is ascribed to the school's high-minded mission and its generous alumni donors. The rest of the book is divided into two sections, one American and the other European. Each individual full-color reproduction is accompanied by an informative one-page essay and a brief reading list. During several years of renovations at Smith, the items featured in this book are traveling to diverse sites, which should increase the book's appeal. 118 colour & 1 b/w illustrations
