Henry Koerner  (1915 - 1991)

Henry Koerner

Henry was one of my professors at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1983. His ability to energize and influence everyone around him was unmatched. I recently framed a signed poster of one his paintings and have been remembering the work he inspired me to complete.

I need information reguarding a watercolor sighnd and dated KOERNER ''44'

Henry Koerner
My father worked at Arthur Andersen in Pittsburgh from 1977 until 1996 and there was a huge Henry Koerner painting above the stairwell between the 21st and 20th floors. Does anyone know what happened to this painting after Arthur Andersen went under? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Henry's Daughter: Stephy
Stephanie Koerner is currently my Art History lecturer at the University of Manchester. She recently gave a very moving speech about her father's work at the Nuremberg trials, and often discusses Henry's work as well as the genius of her brother, which we are all now becoming familiar with.
I would be happy to pass on any well-wishes.

my cousins' husband
My memory is sketchy, but I remember talking with Henry around 1970 in Escanaba, Mich. at my Aunt Millys house. His wife Joan is my cousin. I had just came back from Viet Nam and he was very interested in the war. I wish I would have paid more attention. .....Randy

Remembering Henry
We moved to Pittsburgh in 1964; my family spent most Sundays at Henry's house. His wife, Joan, baked amazing authentic Austrian pastries. My dad, just as short as Henry, would sit with him and the two would read German poetry aloud, with Henry's expostulations and comments adding character to the works. Henry was distressed by my mother...always admonishing her to "Sit, Mary, Sit...too tall!!!!" Henry drew a portrait of me and my first husband...an item which I foolishly disposed of upon our divorce...today, however, in my mother's box of old postcards, I found a little ink sketch, watercolored, mailed to our family from Austria back in the 60's. He had painted it on a postcard or made it into a card; and wrote a note about some 16 panel painting he was working on at the time. It's been a long time since I had thought about those days...in addition to the rabbit, Henry was fond of his little chihuahua, named Piglet II...Piglet I came to a sorry end when a larger dog made a snack of him! I used to marvel at how Piglet would climb the steps to the third floor of the house...the risers were open and I always worried that the little creature would fall thru. It was nice to find this site and see that Henry is remembered even now, and I am not alone with my old recollections!

Henry Koerner
He was a teacher of mine at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Always a creative, oddly interesting and detached man, he always made an impression on me. That was in 1985-1986 and I still remember his teachings more vividly than any other instructor. A true artist.

I was friends with Henry's daughter Stephanie but lost touch in 1972. Modeled for Henry a couple of times and fondly remember the family (and their pet rabbit).I would like to reconnect ,and am saddened to read of henry's passing.

Seeking info on painting:

"fire on the beach"

does anyone know where
this was painted or where
I can obtain a print?

Henry Koerner's
I am just beginning a search to find a print of this painting.Mr Koerner used several of my relatives in several
of his works.Two of the three models for this particular painting were
my grandmother and her baby grandson, me.
My grandmother lived on Murray Hill Ave. and
Ann Moores and Henry Koerner were friends.
I would like something of this painting more than the
likeness of it from Time
magazine of 1959.

I studied under Henry Koerner at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1977-78. He would take us out and about Pittsburgh to draw the urban landscape. I would describe him as eccentric, funny and warm. He was indeed a most interesting fellow.
