"Bride," a 1963 original artist’s proof by Leonard Maurer, showcases the artist’s modernist approach through a spontaneous, expressive sketch. This intimate work offers a glimpse into Maurer’s creative process and his interest in abstracted forms and the human figure.
Leonard Maurer (1912–1976) was an American artist known for his abstract and modernist paintings and prints. Born in Newark, New Jersey, he left school after his father’s death and worked several jobs, including at a printing company, where he developed his skills in sketching and printmaking.
Before World War II, Maurer worked as a cartographer for the U.S. Army and returned to the field after the war, joining the U.S. Army Map Service in Washington, D.C. He later earned a B.F.A. from American University and taught at Mount Vernon College, where he chaired the art department until 1967.
Maurer exhibited widely throughout the United States, and in 1969, one of his works was selected for display at the White House.
