One of less than 20 “single artist” museums in the nation, the Steffen Thomas Museum of Art stands as a proud testament to the artistic legacy of Steffen Thomas – one of Atlanta’s most revered artists. Born in Fürth, Germany in 1906, Thomas was deeply committed to upholding the inherent dignity of humanity, believing in its universal application. His art reverberates with his philosophy “The Brotherhood of Man,” serving as a comment on the iconic moments in American history through which he lived – from World War II to the Civil Rights Movement, the Space Race to his view on the treatment and role of women in Midcentury society. Discover the beauty and significance of his work for yourself and take time to ponder the universal ideals he so passionately championed.
