Steiner
Steiner is an Old English word, believed to have originated in the Early Middle Ages, meaning stone worker. It is believed to have first been used as an occupational surname to denote someone who worked with stone, such as a mason. The word is derived from the Proto-Germanic stem ‘stonaz’, which means stone. In its Early Modern English form, the word came to signify a man living in a stone house, and later took on a more general meaning of a settler or home owner. Morphologically, the word Steiner takes on the same semantic field as its source term ‘stonaz’, however in its Early Modern English form, the word took on a more general meaning of a settler or homeowner. Pragmatically, the word Steiner is now a permanent fixture in the English language and is used in many contexts to refer to a person or family living in a stone house or a homestead.

Steiner was a Swiss painter and sculptor from the early 20th century. He was born in 1902 in the city of Zurich, Switzerland and began painting at the Zurich Art Academy at the age of 16. His works often combined a variety of textures and abstract shapes, creating a unique visual aesthetic. He is best known for his large-scale ambitious works, such as abstract murals, large sculptures, and installations of light. His large-scale painting Tropic of the Sun was acquired by the Swiss National Gallery in 1937. Later in his career, he created various public works, such as Göttin der Kraft (Goddess of Power) in 1960, and the stone sculpture Ascend at Westbahnhof in 1974.
