Sebastian Smee of the Boston Globe writes about ICE CUT (1931)

"One of the best paintings is "Ice Cut (1931)" by Eric Aho, an artist in his 40s who has recently spent a lot of time in the Arctic. It's a spare and painterly work - hints of Courbet's palette-knife technique mixed with Ellsworth Kelly's ambiguities of color and shape. The painting shows a rectangular cut in the ice outside a Finnish sauna, but it was partly inspired by a story of Depression-era ice harvesting in New England told to Aho by his father on his deathbed.

Eric Aho has recently been named National Academician Elect of the National Academy in New York.
