“It was likely during his apprenticeship, in 1909, that Locher, then 21, met Charles Demuth. (At least this is the first documented meeting between the two men. As Kellner writes, “class distinctions as well as mutual interests may have readily brought the two together when they were boys.”). Demuth was five years older than Locher, but the two became fast friends and remained close until Demuth’s death in 1935”
