Note locations of his work, with reference "The rise of the Nazis led Koerner to flee his homeland in 1938. After a year in Italy, he immigrated to Brooklyn, New York. From 1943-47, Koerner designed posters for the Office of War Information and served as a courtroom artist at the Nuremburg Trials. It was during this return to Germany and Austria after World War II that Koerner learned that
his 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 reference2 ".. 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. He was the last Pittsburgh artist to be offered a major solo exhibition at the Carnegie Museum of Art in 1984"

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..
