Aaron Bohrod (Chicago, Illinois, November 21, 1907 - Madison, Wisconsin, April 3, 1992) studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League of New York and eventually earned Guggenheim fellowships which permitted him to travel throughout the country, painting and recording the American scene. His early work won him widespread praise as an important social realist and regional painter and printmaker and his work was marketed through Associated American Artists in New York. During World War II, Aaron worked as an artist, first in the Pacific for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, then in Europe for Life Magazine. In 1948, he accepted a position as artist in residence at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and remained in that capacity until 1973.
