Life

Stern was born on June 23, 1924 in Kassel, Germany. He attended a school there for three years before emigrating to France with his parents after Hitler came to power. After the outbreak of World War II, the family continued to flee to Switzerland. Together with around 300 other refugees, Stern spent his youth there in a makeshift factory building until the end of the war. During this internment period, the refugees were looked after by aid agencies that provided them with books, including about art history. Stern also used his limited free time to draw in these years. After years of internment and statelessness, Stern returned to France with his family after the war and became a French citizen.[1]

He has two sons; Bertrand Stern[2] (born 1948) and André Stern[3] (born 1971).

Over time, the media became aware of Stern's work. He was interviewed several times, reports were made and he wrote articles about his work.[4]

UNESCO also became aware of Stern and delegated him as an expert to the first international congress on art education in Bristol. On September 9, 2019, Stern was honored by UNESCO and the Paris-Sorbonne University.[5][6]

Reception
gollark: There's a thing called "responsible disclosure".
gollark: Okay?
gollark: Like anthrax. Do you want anthrax? Nobody wants anthrax.
gollark: This stuff on palaiologos' page is quite ominous:> I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. We're quite lenient, but constant violation will result in everything you shared with us revealed, and your name denounced. > After you've decided to go on a hiatus, you're strictly forbidden to share our knowledge in any form, the one you learned from the curatory resources and the knowledge you learned from individuals. If you traded goods with another member, you can't share them and they stay inside MENACE.
gollark: Yep.
