Maurer lived in France until 1914 and painted his dazzling landscapes mostly in the Champagne region. Here, a salmon-pink path leads up rolling lime-green hills. Wind-tossed trees in the middle ground contrast with the shadowy, looming masses (presumably the canopies of older trees) beyond the hillcrest. Maurer harmonized Cézanne's approach to space with Fauvist explorations of color, seeking to probe the essence of his subject; the land in Hills seems to undulate as a living, breathing entity.
