Louis Pohl

Louis Pohl (1915 – December 22, 1999) was an American painter, illustrator, art teacher, printmaker and cartoonist.

A childhood illness made it impossible to walk without pain and prevented Pohl from entering school until he was 8 years old.

A regular foursome of well-to-do women made an unusual wager—the loser would make their caddy's wish come true.

When World War II broke out, Pohl enlisted in the United States Navy, which sent him to Hawaii and assigned him to paint ships in dry dock.

Pohl was medically discharged and reluctantly returned to Cincinnati, where he was hired by the Works Progress Administration to supervise other artists.
