1939 Press Photo Sculpture "Mother Bear and Cubs" by James L. Gehr - mjx37230

"Mother Bear and Cubs" by James L. Gehr, a Milwaukeean known for his animal groups, is the largest sculpture to be shown in the coming Seven Arts exhibition at the Milwaukee Art institute. The piece was executed under the Wisconsin Art Project which lends it to the institute. Mr. Gehr has designed his work especially for playground use with its rounded surfaces and absence of sharp corners. It is a splendid piece of design. While it is not realistic in modeling, it presents the playfulness of the two cubs and the amused tolerance of the mother bear.
