George Bellows Ohio Painter

This artist is famous for many paintings he did about boxing and city workers. And people in snow.

George is a Cincinnati and Cleveland artist according to my information. He studied at the Cincinnati School of Art and I believe a teacher. Later he went to New York to paint and experience the big city.

This painting was on view at Columbus Art Museum. They have a hand full of these paintings. This example of a snowy day is so interesting because of the deep shadows and the far distant horizion.

The People are on their way even though the snow is deep.  In fact the paint of white snow is thick as well.  There seems to be so much texture and movement in this painting. I like the tracks of the folks walking in the deep snow.

This is not quite a monochromatic painting but almost. Again I will encourage you to go to your local museum!
