Biography
Bohm was born in Cleveland, Ohio. 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 and there is a mural in his home town at the Cuyahoga County Courthouse.
