George Wesley Bellows (1882-1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City, who became one of the most acclaimed American artists of his age. He is arguably the most important figure in the generation of artists who negotiated the transition from the Victorian to the modern era in American culture.
He attended the New York School of Art where he was taught by Robert Henri and John Sloan. He was part of a group of artists known as “The Eight” or the Ashcan School, who focused on images of urban realism.
Bellows was introduced to lithography by the printer George Miller in 1916 and the subjects of his prints ranged from themes of sport and New York street life to studies of the nude and portraits. From 1918–19 he collaborated with Bolton Brown as his printer. By the time of his death Bellows had produced some 193 prints and his reputation as one of America’s most significant lithographers and painters has continued to grow.
Bellows' series of paintings portraying amateur boxing matches were arguably his signature contribution to art history. At the time boxing was not yet recognized as a ‘legitimate’ organized sport so fights were conducted in the dark atmospheres of private clubs. Bellows' boxers convey a strong sense of motion and the excitement and energy of close up action with juxtapositions of light and dark forms.

**the giclee process produces a superior quality, fine art reproduction from a high-resolution digital file of an image. The file is then printed with a high-resolution photo generation printer on a fine art paper. Most artists and working photographers today use the giclee process to produce reproductions of their original artwork and photographs.
As with any original art or fine art reproduction, it is recommended that prints are framed and displayed under glass to prevent color fade or shift over the years.
