Stella Steyn
Steyn was born in Dublin and attended the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art under Patrick Tuohy. Her early work at the DMSA was influenced by Aubrey Beardsley and Harry Clarke, Tuohy introduced the influence of Paul Cιzanne. Steyn then travelled to Paris, studying at La Grande Chaumiθre and the Acadιmie Scandinave. In Paris, she met James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, being asked by Joyce to illustrate an edition of Finnegan's Wake. whytes.ie Steyn exhibited at the RHA, at the Painter's Gallery, St. Stephen's Green, the Tailteann Games, the 1928 Summer Olympics and the first Irish exhibition of contemporary art in Manhattan between 1927 and 1930. In 1931, Steyn enrolled in the Bauhaus, being taught by Kandinsky, Klee and Albers, the first known Irish artist to do so. In 1938 Steyn married the academic David Ross, settling in England and rarely displaying work. Retrospective exhibitions of her work in the Gorry Gallery and the Molesworth Gallery, 1995 and 2001 repectively, renewed interest in her work in Ireland.
