Lucy, 1909. Max Bohm (American, 1868–1923). Oil on canvas; framed: 155.7 x 155.7 x 5.7 cm (61 5/16 x 61 5/16 x 2 1/4 in.); unframed: 126 x 126 cm (49 5/8 x 49 5/8 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of Barbara and Edmund Hajim 2021.148 Painted during expatriate Max Bohm’s visit to his hometown in Cleveland, Lucy depicts a former love interest, who years earlier turned down the artist’s marriage proposal because she doubted his ability to earn a steady income. During the intervening time, Bohm had wed someone else and established himself as a noted painter, earning success particularly in France and England. Bohm created this painting while working on a commissioned mural for the Cuyahoga County Courthouse.
