"Choosing the opening photo, though, was easy "The first photo in the book was shot at dawn, first light," looking at the Ohio River from Riverside Drive in Covington, he said. "A sailboat appeared. ...He came sailing out of the fog and went past the paddle wheel of the Mike Fink. It was just the kind of moment you look for."

Review by Owen Findsen, art critic for the Cincinnati Enquirer, 1981
" the individualists
and adventurers like Lohre may be the artists to watch"
"Figurative portrait painting is no longer taught in most art schools.
Lohre, who studied advertising in college, has been studying painting the way
artists studied in the 19th century. He sets up his canvas in an museums and
copies paintings by the masters. 'I started copying paintings at the Cincinnati
An Museum. After I moved to New York I painted at the Metropolitan.'
To learn his trade, Lohre seeks out artists and asks their advice. 'I learned
a lot about painting portraits from artist R_.'
Lohre started painting portraits when he noticed some of the people in the paintings
at the Met resembled people he knew. 'I'o paint a Van Dyke and put in a new
face.' The device was a good publicity stunt, but not very lucrative. 'People
want an original painting, so I staned painting people posed in their favorite
fantasy.'
Lohre is also interested in painting landscape, but only when there is something
significant happening. He found a way to get press credentials for the launch
of the space shuttle. Before Mount St. Helens erupted he contrived a way to
be present to paint the mountain.
Lohre is learning his art the hard way, by traveling, searching and working,
without the aid of academy or apprentice
system. In an age when most artists are products of master programs at universities,
all reflecting the current academic dogmas of contemporary an, the individualists
and adventurers like Lohre may be the artists to watch."
