-George Wesley Bellows was an American painter known for his dynamic depictions of urban life, particularly in New York City. He was associated with the Ashcan School, a group of artists who focused on portraying the gritty realities of urban existence. Bellows' work often captured the energy and vitality of city life, portraying scenes of bustling streets, boxing matches, and waterfront activities with bold brushwork and strong contrasts of light and shadow. His paintings reflected social issues and the diverse range of experiences within the rapidly changing urban landscape of early 20th-century America.
