About Stephen Moor
A Hungarian German national born in 1915, Stephen Moor arrived in Australia in 1950 as a war refugee. Before World War II he had been teaching stained glass at the Budapest Academy. After the usual assembly-line work Moor eventually found his feet, learnt English and gained employment as a stained glass artist at Standard Industries in Sydney. Moor established his own practice, Ars Sacra in Strathfield, working with the firm of leadlighters Bolton Glass. He later moved the business to South Strathfield on the Hume Highway. Stephen Moor became a dominant figure in the stained glass scene in Sydney, bringing his distinctive European/Germanic style to bear on a craft largely mired in the 19th century and is credited with reinvigorating the liturgical and residential stained glass of the time.
