...blind. He wasted no time switching to clay. After three years in Sculptor Solon Borglum's studio and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, he rambled through Spain (1908).

He had executed his first commissioned painting a few weeks prior: a portrait of a gigantic stein of beer, overflowing, above the device 5?. Last week the Museum of Modern Art gave Maurice Sterne its first one-man show for a living U. S. artist, one of the most complete reviews of an artist's work ever held in Manhattan. On three floors some 200 separate drawings, paintings, bits of sculpture showed the progress of 30 years' work. Maurice Sterne has never been a headliner...
