About the Item

Pyramids in Egypt. a photo of a pyramid in a desert landscape. (from an email by the artist) This one is one of a series taken in 1984, in Egypt. They are numbered in series of 7. This one seems to be one of the original set of prints. The Musée du Louvre and the Musée Carnavalet, here in Paris, have acquired similar prints last year. Born in 1951 in Thann (Alsace, France) Paul Maurer starts photographing as an autodidact. He lives and works in Paris, France, since 1974. His main series cover natural and urban landscapes, architecture, plants or still lives. Paul Maurer finds his primary inspiration in the Alsatian landscapes and natural spaces, where he makes his first prize-winning shot. His encounter with French architect Paul Andreu determined his move from natural to urban landscapes: he pictures the streets and all that is happening in the town. His eye first captures general views, then concentrates on buildings. 1979 FNAC / Paris - France : “Basel’s Carnival” 1980 Photo Art / Basel - Switezerland : “Basel’sCarnival” 1983 Théatre du Rond-Point / Paris - France : “Hommage à James Joyce” 1984 Mois de la Photo / Paris - France : “Trianon” 1985 Photo Art / Basel - Switzerland : “Masks”Stockereg Gallery / Zurich - Switzerland : “Beaches” Museum of Modern Art / Miami (Flo.) - USA : “On Atget’s Footsteps” 1989 Cartier’s Foundation for Contemporary Arts / Paris -France: “Lights,Hazard and Reflection” 1999 Galerie Lahune-Brenner / Paris - France: " Jardin d’Erik GROUP EXHIBITIONS 1979 International Art Fair / Basel - Switzerland : “Natures” 1980 J.
