Harold Stevenson was born in 1929 Idabel, Oklahoma. At the age of 19 he moved to New York and was an intimate of Pavel Tchelitchew, Charles Henri Ford, Alexander Iolas, Andy Warhol and the couturier Charles James. In 1958 Stevenson left for Paris where he showed at the Galerie Iris Clert. In 1962 Stevenson's Eye of Lightning Billy was included in Sidney Janis' New Realists exhibition. Seeing Stevenson's work in the Janis show Lawrence Alloway requested that the artist take part in the Six Painters and the Object show he was organizing for the Guggenheim Museum. For this Stevenson made The New Adam, an eight by forty foot reclining male nude. Upon seeing photographs of the completed painting Alloway dropped Stevenson from the show, replacing him with Robert Rauchenberg. In 2005, The New Adam entered the Guggenheim's permanent collection. After returning from Paris in the mid1960s Stevenson divided his time between Idabel, OK and New York. He currently lives and works in Idabel, OK.

More recently Wintersberger has been the prolific creator of brightly expressionistic, mythological paintings. The artist lives and works in Walbourg, France.
