Jim Brothers
Jim Brothers (August 15, 1941 – August 20, 2013)[1] was an American figurative sculptor from the U.S. state of Kansas. He died at the age of 72 at his home in Lawrence, Kansas, where he had received hospice care for cancer. His wife Kathy said he completed his final piece, a tribute to William Inge, "literally days before he died."[2]
