“…The jobs in which I did not work in painting, I worked in stained glass and in tapestry. And the stained glass, for example, was an integral part of the building.

Gottlieb is pictured here in 1953 beside Otto Heinigke of the stained glass fabrication firm Heinigke and Smith, working on the 91-panel stained glass window for the Milton Steinberg Memorial House at the Park Avenue Synagogue. -- source link
