On offer, we have an original lithograph by Chicago artist Aaron Bohrod. "Summertime" shows 2 young boys carrying their fresh caught fish across a field. The trees are slightly surrealist. This is signed by the artist in pencil on the lower right. Research tells me this was created in 1945, printed by Associated American Artists in an edition of 250. This is in a very old period matte. The matte measures 14" X 18", the paper 12" X 16" and the image is 9 1/4" X 12 3/4".
About the artist: Aaron Bohrod (1907-1992), Was "known for his unique trompe-l'oeil style, was a master at painting visual illusion. A Magical Realist, Bohrod painted representational images with supernatural elements in a hyper realist style. (ACA Galleries)
I believe this is in excellent condition. The print is bold, clean and clear. It has faint toning around the edges from the matte. The matte is old, thin and useless. However, it has protected the lithograph for over 70 years and might help now with safe shipping. As I am not an expert on art, please see my photographs for more description.
This is from my friend who is moving to a much smaller home and parting with many of his treasures.
I will be happy to answer any questions and, of course, combine your shipping.
