The article focuses on Whitney Museum which is showing a large retrospective of the late artist Alfred Maurer's work. He started with academic and salon painting and achieved conventional success. A jury that numbered painters Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer among its members gave him the Carnegie gold medal in 1901. Maurer abandoned at an early stage his Whistler-inspired ladies and genre studies for the dangerous pathways of impressionism, fauvism, cubism, and the abstract.
