Bellows


Going indoors, urban, and monochrome for this one by George Bellows from 1917.
There's a lot going on here.  Things could have gotten interesting.

  1. It is interesting that Bellows is the only artist from the Anglosphere today, and he sites his contribution indoors.

    1. I've posted a lot of male nudes painted by Englishman, and they are, iirc, all sited indoors. Most are academic pieces for that matter.

  2. The guy on the diving board is surely a humorous reference to classical scuoture, right? The Discobulus?

    1. Good spot! That's why I love the comments. I hadn't even noticed.
