FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
In the corner of a room with orange-and-blue floral wallpaper sits a square table, covered in a boldly patterned pink tablecloth. The tabletop tilts upward to display what it supports: three green fruits, a rainbow dish, and a blue-and-white ceramic candle holder. Maurer's decorative arrangement playfully proposes new metaphysical realities, bridging the boundaries between vision and imagination. One of Maurer's Fauve masterpieces, Still Life engages ideas of color and pictorial structure from Matisse and Cézanne, plus some of the ornamental repertory of East Asian art.
