Stephen Juharos (1913 - 2010) "Timeless Sculpture" Oil on Board. A native of Budapest, Hungary, Stephen began painting at the age of seven, following in the footsteps of his father, an architect who painted in his free time. Juharos received a Master of Arts diploma at the Royal Hungarian State University for Fine and Industrial Art. He was also awarded the Gold Medal and a one-year scholarship. At his first solo show in Budapest, the City of Budapest purchased one of his watercolors for the City Art Museum. The National Museum of Fine Art also purchased another of his watercolors. Juharos moved to the United States in 1949. He continued to accept portrait commissions, including those of Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty for Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of the United States; United States Senator Barry Goldwater; James Kemper, Ambassador to Brazil and Hathaway Kemper, Esquire, founders of Kemper and Lumbermans Insurance Company; Crownprince Otto von Habsburgh and his wife Princess Regina von Sachsen Meiningen and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. His portrait of Eisenhower is displayed in the Museum Hall of Presidents. During this time, his paintings were in shows from Florida to Maine to the Midwest, earning many First Place and other awards. He completed large murals for churches in Pittsburgh and Perryopolis, Pennsylvania; Montreal, Canada and Flagstaff, Arizona. His 35-foot by 50-foot ceiling mural for a Pittsburgh church is the largest ceiling mural in the United States. Other murals were commissioned for the Maplewood, New Jersey City Hall; main library of Northern Arizona University; Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, and the Tempe, Arizona City Hall.
