Lucia Stern (neé Martha Ida Lucia Karker), was largely self-taught as a painter and sculptor; her formal training was in music and literature. Stern studied at the Milwaukee Conservatory, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Columbia University from 1918-1922. She married Erick Stern, a Milwaukee lawyer, in 1930. Stern served on the board of the Milwaukee Art Institute from 1933 and became a trustee in 1967 when it was the Milwaukee Art Center. She didn't begin to work regularly as an artist until 1935. She became a docent and lecturer at the Milwaukee Art Institute in 1942, continuing in that capacity for the next forty years. Stern was instrumental in beginning the “Touch the Great” and “Women in the Arts” lecture series at the Milwaukee Art Center. Her characteristic approach in painting, lecturing and writing was to borrow styles or quotes from her contemporaries and modify them.
Stern was recognized as one of the leading promulgators of non-objective art in the United States. She absorbed the modernist spirit from Picasso and Brancusi, but experimental non-objective and abstract artists such as Man Ray, Moholy-Nagy, and Naum Gabo also influenced her. She was a friend of many important champions of non-objective art, including eminent Bauhaus artist Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), who painted a portrait of her, and with whom she exhibited. Moholy-Nagy’s book on art theory, titled Vision in Motion, remained a steady influence on her.
Another friend was of Stern’s was Baroness Hilla Rebay, director of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting in New York City (later to become The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum). Baroness Rebay collected and exhibited Lucia Stern's works at the Museum.Her work evolved over a fifty-year period and encompassed decoupage, drawing, painting, and sculpture, with an increasing emphasis on three-dimensional works. Stern is remembered primarily for her mixed media works combining stitched lines and cut net with more traditional artistic media, and for her early use of abstract compositions. She is also remembered for her warm, optimistic nature and for her dedication to the arts as an artist and spokesperson. In 1972, Stern was elected “Woman of the Year” by the Friends of Art of the Milwaukee Art Center.

- German Modernist Oil Painting LOWER RHINEBy Carl BarthLocated in Surfside, FLFramed oil on linen, ''Lower Rhine,'' by Carl Barth (German, 1896-1976), signed ''Barth'' lower left, bears Hearst Art Gallery, Moraga, California label verso, overall: 26''h x 30''w. Provenance: Deaccession of Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College, Moraga, California Carl Barth was a German visual artist who was born in 1896.

Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, USA, Los Angeles Overview 2011, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf which included artists August Macke,Carl Barth, Conrad Felixmuller, George Grosz,Hannah Hoch, Oskar kokoschka and others CARL BARTH 1896 to 1976 The Rhine painter CARL BARTH has created a work rich in developmental stages that stretches from the 20s to the 70s of the last century. After late-Expressionist beginnings in the 20s, he created in the early 30s, probably the most-respected part of his work, those strictly built, color-sparing tempera images that are the New Objectivity and the Magic Realism assigned, Barth's paintings of the early 1930s seem to express the loneliness of man in the face of a colder and more threatening social situation. The constructivist rigor of these works is transformed in the American paintings of 1936 into a more painterly style with a richer modeling of the subject matter, without abandoning the theme: the images reflect the loneliness and emptiness of the not only American "way of life" - they became repeatedly compared to works by Edward Hopper.
