Maurer left his native Russia for Holland in 1914, settling in Antwerp until the German invasion in 1940, when he moved to England. He began painting 10 years later. He exhibited at the Ben Uri and Mercury Galleries in London, and also in Basel. His oils and watercolours depict everyday Jewish life and ceremonies recalled from his native Russian childhood, and stories from the Jewish ghetto.
