Richard Flagg, a businessman from Milwaukee, had always wanted to be an artist. His successful entrepreneurial father had other plans. Instead of serving Milwaukee’s famous beer in the evening to support producing paintings in daytime, son Richard would learn the business and become the director of a leather goods production and export unit in Port-au-Prince. With a would-be artist’s inspirited eye, Flagg assembled a collection. He and his wife Erna would eventually donate the selective collection to the Milwaukee Art Museum
