Max Bohm (1868–1923) was an American artist born in Cleveland but he spent much of his time in Europe.

Biography

Bohm was born in Cleveland, Ohio.[1] Bohm studied at the Académie Julian in Paris and travelled in Europe. Between 1895-1904 he made his home at the Etaples art colony. Described as a romantic visionary, his heroic depiction of Étaples fishermen, received a gold medal at the Paris Salon in 1898. He went on to teach painting at a school in London until 1911 before returning to the United States to join the school of artists in Cape Cod.

Bohm became a National Academician in 1920, dying three years later in Provincetown, a town at the tip of Cape Cod. His paintings are part of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, the Luxembourg Gallery in Paris[1] and there is a mural in his home town at the Cuyahoga County Courthouse.

Bohm is grandfather of artist Anne Packard.[2]
