FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Originally from New York, Maurer moved to Paris in 1897 to study art and may have trained briefly with Matisse. His painting House was likely among the first group of works that Dr. Albert Barnes purchased from Paris in 1912, launching his modern art collection. Maurer acted as an art advisor to Dr. Barnes in Paris; his eye for color, evident in this painting, helped develop Dr. Barnes's vision and taste for art.
