Fehr studied from 1877 to 1881 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under the professors Gyula Benczúr, Alois Gabl, and Ludwig von Löfftz. Long study trips to the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Paris followed. In 1882 he moved to Berlin, where from 1885 he taught at the drawing school of the Association of Berlin Artists. Fehr had his debut as a sculptor in 1896 at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition, where, after completing his teaching career, he was a regular guest as a painter. In 1884 he received a bronze medal in London. After the First World War he was in Copenhagen for a long time, where he carried out various orders for portraits. He died in 1933 in Berlin.
