Monday Morning Museum: George Wesley Bellows

George Wesley Bellows – Saturday 12 or 19 August 1882 Columbus, Ohio to Thursday 8 January 1925 New York, New York

American Ashcan School Painter


Although Bellows is primarily known for his depiction of life in New York City, I have chosen to present brighter images, both in subject matter and color palette such as – Paradise Point, 1919 – which, to me, evokes the light of summer.

Next Monday’s Artist – John Frederick Kensett
