Aaron Bohrod
Gouache on Board Painting Titled "Barbecue Stand", by Aaron Bohrod, circa 1935

Circa 1935

About the Item

Aaron Bohrod, 1907-1992 Barbecue Stand, circa 1935 Gouache on board Signed Lower left: “Aaron Bohrod” Inscribed and signed on verso Bohrod-1 Provenance: Private estate, Rhode Island, 2004 Artist’s original decorated frame and mat Barbecue Stand is an excellent example of American vernacular found in Bohrod’s regionalist period. His detailed precision and bright color palette draw in the viewer. He also achieves this through the meticulous rendering of distinct textures -- from the brick wall and wood siding to the tiled rooftop to the dirt road. The painting, which might initially seem cheerful with its bright colors and appealing ice cream cone, casts a more dispirited tone through the addition of the worker and by giving us a side view that reveals the back side of the building. A frontal view might have presented a happier scene, depicting the customers’ cars and waving American flags, but concealed the worker and brick exterior. His chosen perspective demonstrates his interest in telling an honest story from multiple viewpoints. Bohrod combines elements of folk with realism, evoking both the pleasures and hardships of daily American life.
