Maurice Grosser (1903, Huntsville, Alabama – 1986, New York, NY) was an artist, critic, and intellectual. While completing a mathematics degree at Harvard, Grosser exhibited at the university’s Fogg Museum, eventually winning a scholarship to study painting in Paris, where he met his life partner Virgil Thompson. In addition to painting, he served as an art critic for The Nation (1956-1967) and designed sets for Thompson’s two operas, which were co-written by Gertrud Stein. Grosser’s works are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NY; Brooklyn Museum, NY; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; Boston Museum of Fine Arts, MA; and Huntsville Museum of Art, AL.
