'''Albert Theodore Stewart''' (April 9, 1900 – September 23, 1965) was an American [[sculpture|sculptor]].
==Life==
He was born in [[Kensington]], [[England]].
Dr. [[George Frederick Kunz]], vice-president of Tiffany & Co., also assisted him, and after his death in 1932, in his will, he bequeathed to "Albert T. Stewart, a friend and sculptor," five shares of non-par capital stock in [[Tiffany & Co.]]<ref>Item VIII, Will of George F. Kunz, Surrogate Court of New York, 1932.</ref>
During [[World War I]], he went to [[Canada]] and joined the [[Royal Air Force]]. When he returned after the war, he worked as an assistant to both [[Frederick MacMonnies]] and [[Paul Manship]].
During the 1930s he worked for the [[Section of Painting and Sculpture]]. Throughout his career Stewart frequently was employed to create architectural sculptures. In 1939, he was appointed head of the sculpture program at [[Scripps College]] in [[Claremont, California]] at the invitation of [[Millard Sheets]]. He moved to California and stayed there the rest of his life.
