George Bellows - Portland Museum of Art

Apr 10 thru Jun 01, 2008. Portland. The great American realist artist George Bellows (1882-1925) has long been respected for his ability to capture the spirit and character of American life in the early 20th century. His well-known images convey the liveliness present in many aspects of American society, from the boxing ring to the seashore. This exhibition features more than 60 prints and drawings from the Boston Public Library, the most important collection of Bellows's graphic art in the United States. Many of these works have not been seen publicly since the 1950s. Five paintings are also included in the show. For info phone (207) 775-6148.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update
