Painting
Maurice Sterne was an American painter and sculptor whose work bridged modernist abstraction and figurative tradition in the early twentieth century. Active across painting, drawing, and three-dimensional form, he developed a distinctive approach to the human figure that moved between expressionist distortion and classical restraint. His career spanned from the 1890s through the mid-century, a period during which he engaged with both European avant-garde movements and American regionalist concerns.
