Collectors Press no. 121A Surrealist painter.and sculptor whose “visionary art” reflected spiritual transformation informed by meditation and Oriental thought, Norman Stiegelmeyer was also an influential teacher at the San Francisco Art Institute. Born in Denver in 1937, Stiegelmeyer enlisted in the U. S. Navy when he was nineteen, serving on the U.S.S. Twining in the Pacific Ocean. Port calls in Japan allowed him to travel in Japan and visit a Buddhist monastery. After discharge from the Navy in 1959, he studied art for two years at Pasadena City College. Stiegelmeyer moved to San Francisco in 1961 to study at the San Francisco Art Institute, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1963 and a master’s degree in 1964. While there he exhibited in group shows at the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University and the Legion of Honor Museum, and in 1964 had a one-man show at the New Mission Gallery in San Francisco. During this time he also took meditation classes at the San Francisco Zen Center. Awarded a Fullbright Scholarship (a German Government Grant) after receiving his master’s degree, Spiegelmeyer studied at the Academy of Art in Nuremberg, Germany for the academic year 1964-65. After his return to San Francisco he lived the North Beach district and resumed the practice of meditation at the Zen Center. Provenance: Estate of Ernest F. De Soto.
