Albert Sterner
Albert Sterner (1863 – December 16, 1946) was an American illustrator and painter.
Early life
Sterner was born in London, and attended King Edward's School, Birmingham. After a brief period in Germany, he eventually moved to the United States in 1879 to join his family who had previously moved to Chicago.[1][2] His brother was the architect Frederick Sterner, who had a career in Chicago and Denver before joining his brother in New York.[3]
Career
He began doing lithography, painting, and illustrations. He opened a studio in New York in 1885 and began doing illustrations for magazines including Harper's Magazine, Scribner's Magazine, The Century Magazine, and Collier's. In 1888 he became a student at Académie Julian in Paris. He returned to the United States in 1918.[1][2]
In 1918, he returned to America and began teaching at the Art Students League in New York.[1][4][5]
Institutions that have exhibited his work include the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Carnegie Museum, and the Art Institute of Chicago.[1]
Sterner's awards include the Carnegie Prize at the National Academy of Design in 1941.[1]
His New York Times obituary stated that he was perhaps best known for his portraits, but "he was also noted for his nudes, religious subjects, landscapes, still-life work and, in his earlier days, his book and magazine illustrations."[6]
