Ursula Sternberg-Hertz

Ursula Sternberg-Hertz (1925-2000) was a German-English painter.[1][2] She was self-taught as an artist.[3]

She was Jewish, and fled Germany with her family at the age of eleven because of the Nazis.[3][1] During World War II she and her family stayed in Holland and later Belgium, but she was sent into hiding away from her family for a while because her father was afraid her appearance was too Jewish.[1] At the end of World War II she moved to England to work in textile design and commercial art.[1] In 1971 she moved to Elkins Park, and in 1989 she moved to Chestnut Hill.[1]

Her work was acquired by places including Duke University, New York Public Library, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Woodmere Art Museum.[1]

She was married to Jonathan Sternberg until her death.[2]
