Lincoln Park Art Night is back!

Thursday, November 6, 2025
5:30 - 8:30 PM

DePaul Art Museum, gallery 1871, Madron Gallery, Art on Sedgwick, and  Leslie Wolfe Gallery,  are participating in the fourth annual Lincoln Park Art Night. Five unique art locations have banded together to celebrate their Lincoln Park neighborhood and promote a destination for art lovers that is too-frequently overlooked. The event is FREE and open to all. Luxury sprinter vans will circulate the neighborhood offering hop-on/hop-off service for three hours on Thursday, November 6th from 5:30 - 8:30 PM. Riders may start and stop at any of the five participating locations.

The Fine Art of [Aaron Bohrod] // 10.30.25

For Bohrod, House and Stormy Sky is a transitional work, painted in the 1940s, either just before his deployment to the Pacific with the Army War Art Unit in 1942 or when he returned in 1945 from his subsequent service as a war correspondent in Europe for “Life” magazine. The painting is an American Regionalist landscape in nature. A man walks toward the buildings at right, his dejected silhouette, hands tucked in his pockets, and head down, reminiscent of a downtrodden farmer from a Thomas Hart Benton mural. However, Bohrod’s unique talent lies in his description and specificity, a foreshadowing of his later still life painting. Unlike Benton’s figures, Bohrod’s is not one of caricature, but one of realism.
