Note wikipedia - was an Austrian-born American painter and graphic designer best known for his early Magical Realist works of the late 1940s and his portrait covers for Time magazine. Born in the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna to Jewish parents Leo Koerner (1879–1942) and Feige Dwora (“Fanny”) Koerner (1887-1942), Koerner attended the Realgymnasium Vereinsgasse. Trained in graphic design at Vienna’s Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt (1934–36), he worked in the studio of Viktor Theodor Slama, designing posters and book jackets. Following Hitler’s annexation of Austria in 1938, he fled via Italy (Milan and Venice) to the U.S., settling in New York and in 1940 marrying Viennese-born Fritzi Apfel.[1] ..Drafted into the U.S. Army, he was ordered in 1944 to the Graphics Division of the Office of Strategic Services in Washington, D.C. where he made war posters, including Save Waste Fats and Someone Talked, the latter winning an award from the Museum of Modern Art. Shipped to London, he documented, in pen and ink sketches and photographs, everyday life during wartime. After VE Day (8 May 1945), Koerner was reassigned to Germany, sketching defendants at the War Crimes trials...OR "..It was during this return to Germany and Austria after World War II that Koerner learned thathis father, mother and brother were among the Jews killed in the Holocaust. This traumatic discovery marked the decisive moment when Koerner moved beyond commercial illustration to express his personal emotions in paint.." AND ".. Koerner also worked for Time Magazine, painting cover portraits of politicians, entertainers and educators. In 1952, he came to settle in Pittsburgh, where he taught at Chatham College and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. In the mid 1980's, Koerner retired to devote his time to painting.

Note wikipedia: Educated in Britain, d'Albert showed early musical talent and, at the age of 17, he won a scholarship to study in Austria. Feeling a kinship with German culture and music, he soon emigrated to Germany, where he studied with Franz Liszt and began a career as a concert pianist. D'Albert repudiated his early training and upbringing in England and considered himself German. While pursuing his career as a pianist, d'Albert focused increasingly on composing, producing 21 operas and a considerable output of piano, vocal, chamber and orchestral works. His most successful opera was Tiefland, which premiered in Prague in 1903. His successful orchestral works included his cello concerto (1899), a symphony, two string quartets and two piano concertos. In 1907, d'Albert became the director of the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, where he exerted a wide influence on musical education in Germany. He also held the post of Kapellmeister to the Court of Weimar..
