Aaron Sopher (1905-1972)
Illustrator Aaron Sopher studied drawing at the Maryland Institute College of Art, "finding more interest in sketching the people around him than in drawing from casts," as Wilbur Harvey Hunter Jr., director of Baltimore's Peale Museum wrote in 1960 (Sopher, introduction). While at MICA, he trained with institute director Alon Bement who was influential in training Sopher in handling the human figure in art and who tolerated Sopher's unconventional sty (showing 500 of 5187 characters). |
