C. Paul Jennewein’s life as an artist is a classic success story. As a clever young boy in Germany he was apprenticed at 13 to sculptural artisans where he rapidly learned the techniques of casting, modeling, and painting. His life from then until his death in 1978 at age 87 was marked by a series of artistic accomplishments.
Several of his medallic works, including the inaugural medal for President Truman, are collector’s treasurers. He sculptured some medals to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at NY University Series.
