George BELLOWS

George Bellows (1882–1925) was a central creative force within the Ashcan School, a group of artists committed to portraying the raw, unvarnished realities of American urban life during the Gilded Age of the early 20th century. Renowned for his boxing paintings and street scenes, Bellows brought that same vitality and painterly fluidity to his work as a printmaker. His lithographs are rich in a film noir-like contrast and psychological depth. Whether depicting urban struggles, quiet domestic moments, or wartime critiques, Bellows left behind a body of work that remains strikingly modern in its emotional force and social relevance. Despite his brief career, he is remembered today as one of the boldest and most inventive American artists of the early 20th century, celebrated for his dynamic images of New York life.
