About the Item

Aaaron Sopher, Ink Wash, City Ladies Shopping. Exact date unknown. Frame W 11.75 x H 16.25 in Image W 5 x H 8.75 in Aaron Sopher (1905–1972) was an American artist who is known for his depictions of Baltimore, United States. Following his stint at the Maryland Institute of Fine and Applied Arts, Sopher worked as a freelance illustrator for The Baltimore Sun, where his drawings began to appear regularly. In 1927, he received his first large commission from the newspaper to illustrate a story about the Baltimore waterfront, which was the first illustration to bring him wide recognition. Sopher then moved to New York City in 1929 where he resided until 1931.[1] His cartoons appeared in The New Yorker, and his sketches of week were often included in The New Masses, a leftist publication devoted to social commentary.
