Harry Sternberg, born in 1904 in New York City, was a painter, lithographer, muralist, and educator. He was interested in art from a young age and would take free classes at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Sternberg began to study at the Art Students League in New York in 1922, and about ten years later he joined the staff team. He was mainly interested in printmaking, but later in life took interest in painting and murals, having exhibitions in galleries such as The Whitney Museum of American Art. Growing up during the Great Depression, he was able to capture the despair and inequalities of the human experience which was a heavy influence on his art, and can be seen in his industrial paintings and drawings. Sternberg lived a full and meaningful life, fighting for what he believed in and teaching students at the Art Students League for 35 years until he retired, and later died at the age of 97 in 2001.
