Steffen Thomas was born in 1906 in Fürth, Germany. His father, a paintbrush manufacturer, apprenticed him to a stonecutter at the age of 14 after realizing his son wanted to be a sculptor. Steffen applied himself and became an excellent stone carver, spending part of his time working on WWI monuments. He was so gifted that at the age of 17 he was accepted to the School of Applied Arts in Nuremberg and at the age of 19 entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. While at the Academy he established himself as a sculptor of note, was given a studio of his own and awarded "Master" status at the age of 21... The Steffen Thomas Museum of Art is a "single artist" museum displaying the art of Steffen Thomas. When Steffen Thomas passed away in 1990, he left his wife, Sara Douglass Thomas, and their four children the summation of a prolific artistic career. Nurturing a vision of a museum dedicated to the preservation of her husband's art, Mrs. Thomas wanted to turn the Thomas home in Midtown..
