Modern American Life George Bellows (1882–1925)

摘要

George Bellows came to New York from a comfortable family background in Columbus, Ohio in 1904 and worked with Robert Henri at the New York School of Art. He became a member of a group of young artists who called themselves the Ashcan painters and began to create his energetic scenes of life in the Lower East Side of Manhattan — the river front and the docks, the streets and tenements, great construction projects such as Penn Station, and the illegal prize fights known as stags.
