HENRIETTE WYETH HURD Henriette Wyeth Hurd is the third member of her family to become a TIME cover artist, joining her brother Andrew Wyeth and husband Peter Hurd. tier TIME cover is the seventh portrait she has Jone of Andrew Wyeth, and the one she likes best. She painted him in the granary at his home in Chadds Ford, Pa., gazing out the win- dows. "I wanted him looking at that severe landscape," she says. "If you get him looking at you, you get his warmth and charm, but I wanted to get the painter looking at something he paints, the almost pained look on his face, the search for what the truth is about-that good tough look of his." Mrs. Hurd is best known for her portraits of children and her dreamy fantasies of childhood. Among other honors, she won first prize in the Wilmington Show, 1931-1936. EU lI11.1 AARON BOHROD The extremely photographic realism of Aaron Bohrod's painting does not appeal to all critics, but his technique is not without purpose. "I crowd many visual elements onto my panel to symbolize as mich as possi- ble the multifaceted character of the subject." Born in ChicagD in 1907, Bohrod studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the Art Stu- dents League in New York. Early noted for his watercolors of Chicago back streets, he be- came widely known during World War II for his sketches of the Solomon Islands campaign and the Normandy invasion. His many awards include: two Guggenheim Fellowships; the Chicago Art Institute's Logan Prize (twice); First Award of Merit at the 1940 Los Angeles Watercolor Exhibition; the Penn- sylvania Academy of Fine Arts' First Prize for Watercolors. ti Ai v. p c
