Description
Born in 1926, Maurer became an assistant art director at Columbia Records in New York City, designing album covers and promotional material for popular artists. For a while, Andy Warhol was his colleague, and when Andy left, Maurer continued to expand his commercial drawing, working for the music industry.
In the mid-sixties his paintings began to appear in galleries in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris, France, and in the early nineties he decided to fully devote his time to painting, making Atlanta, Georgia his home base.
Since then his work has been shown at the Georgia Capitol, the Carnegie Museum in Oxnard, California, the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles, and others. He has fulfilled commissions for ESPN and MotorSport, as well as prominent individuals from music and film.
He creates large mixed-media pieces, often in series, such as Sports Legends, Movie Stars, and Famous Musicians. His series Vanishing Georgia deals with historical events in the history of the southern state of Georgia. America, America and The Great Americans were created after 9/11 as a reaction to the events.
"His style combines bold, dynamic colors and strokes with painstaking layouts and typographical elements. The result is the unique blend of a painter's passion tempered with the calculating compositional eye of a graphic designer. He explores his themes and subject matter primarily through symbols and personalities, evoking pride, nostalgia, and hope."
