The Milwaukee Journal dedicates substantial space to James L. Gehr, Milwaukee sculptor son of Dr. and Mrs. F. C. Gehr. The piece, “A Tale of the Sculptor and the Useful Dog,” shows Gehr with his model Brickendorf the German Boxer. Gehr, educated at Shawano High and Layton School of Art, studied under Frank Lloyd Wright, and crafts figures for Parklawn while animals rest on Brickendorf as the steady model. His work includes animal and portrait sculpture with a knack for likenesses, and his studio sits on Ne Terrace Ave Milwaukee. The Gehr lineage traces to Swiss wood carvers.
