Like Ben-Zvi and Priver, Sterenshuss has passed through the melting-pot of Bezalel, where he engaged for three years in the study of painting, drawing and sculpture. However, the four years that he spent in Paris have had a decisive influence on his artistic course. It was there that he decided to devote himself exclusively to sculpture...Sterenshuss was what is customarily described as a realistic sculptor...In due course, however, a crisis set in his work. He began to "edge" the rounded forms of his work. The hips, the thighs, the shoulders, the head, began to lose their natural roundness and became "cubical"; yet this was only a stage on Sterenshuss' road to abstraction.
