About this artist: Aaron Bohrod was known for the range of styles from social realism to landscapes, though he is primarily remembered for his unusual trompe l’oeil paintings. Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1907 he studied art at both the Art Institute of Chicago and also at the Art Student’s League in New York. He returned to Chicago in 1930 and started a series of work which explored the North Side neighborhoods he had grown up in and was strongly influenced by the social realist painter John Sloan, whom he had met while in New York. Bohrod received a Guggenheim Fellowship that allowed him to travel for a time throughout the country. During WWII he worked as a war artist in the Pacific for the Army Corps of Engineers, and later was assigned by Life magazine to cover the war in Europe.
From 1948-1973 he was the artist in residence at the University of Wisconsin Madison. It was in the 1950s that his style of detailed still life paintings emerged, which was to become his signature style. A mixture of surrealism and trompe l’oeil Bohrod would combine the most unusual objects together to make visual jokes, double entendre or societal statements in his compositions. In 1992 he passed away in Madison, Wisconsin, and was posthumously awarded the Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Award.
