George Wesley Bellows (1882-1925) was an American Realistic painter. During his studies, he devoted himself to baseball and wanted to become a professional player. He also made money on the side as an illustrator. He did not finish school, but rather moved to New York to study art under the guidance of Robert Henri, another important American artist. In his pictures, we often see scenes capturing the New York working class as they toil with, for example, a Sand Car. Snowy Picture Building Pennsylvania Station contrasts with the previous image. Here, Bellows plays with light and shadow. As an athlete, he could not miss out on boxing images in his repertoire. The painting Match in Sharkey captures the motion not only in the ring but also in the ranks of spectators. In the 1820s, he studied at the Chicago Art Institute. In his old age, he lived with his family in Woodstock. He died of a cracked peritonitis. His life’s work can be seen in all the major museums across America.
