Albert Steiner introduced George Bellows to fine art lithography prior to cofounding Byrdcliffe. He was Byrdcliffe's first chairperson. Part of Stanford University art department.

Though Sterner moved to New York City in 1885, for the next twenty years he was mainly in Europe. In Paris in 1886, he studied at the Academie Julien with Jules Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger. He received numerous commissions for magazine illustrations. Sterner was quite sensitive to his role as an illustrator, which was his main endeavor, he believed that illustrators should earn the same respect as fine artists. But Sterner did paint and exhibit oil paintings, drawings, watercolors and lithographs which included landscapes, portraits and still lifes and evidenced being an able draftsman in an academic style. His memberships include the American Watercolor Society, Art Association of Newport, National Academy of Design, Painter-Gravers of America, and Society of Illustrators. His work is found in the Brooklyn Museum; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Kupferstitch Kabinet, Dresden; Kupferstitch Kabinet Pinakothek, Munich; Toronto Museum of Fine Arts; Metropolitan Museum of Art and New York Public Library, New York City.
