Hugo Steiner-Prag (Prague, 1880 - New York, 1945); he was an artist and illustrator. In his adolescence, he took private art lessons and was a member of Jung Prag, a group of young artists fascinated by mysticism. His formal artistic career began at age seventeen when he enrolled at the Prague Academy of the Arts, Prager Kunstakadmie, in 1897. He continued his education in Munich, Germany at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Königliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste. It was here Steiner added “Prag'' to his last name in recognition of his home city and to help distinguish his name from other artists. The Leo Baeck Institute has a vast collection of Steiner-Prag’s illustrations and personal mementos from throughout his entire career. Viewers can appreciate his beautifully drawn city scenes and mythical creatures, photographs, set designs, artistic instruments, and certificates of achievement. In 1916, Steiner-Prag illustrated Der Golem by Gustav Meyrink. The golem character, typically an unformed animated creature made from mud or clay, stems from Jewish folklore: legend says Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel of Prague created a golem to protect Jews settled in Prague from danger. Meyrink’s story detailed a golem that is the personification of the inhabitants of Jews in a Prague ghetto, and Steiner-Prag brought the golem to life on paper with twenty-five lithographs, considered perhaps his career masterpieces.
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (commonly abbreviated as E. T. A. Hoffmann; born Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann; 24 January 1776 – 25 June 1822), he was a German Romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist.
