Description
Book SynopsisNo punches are pulled in this fascinating biography that covers the life and work of the prolific artist George Bellows. Having spent most of his adult life in New York City, Bellows left behind an extraordinary body of work that captures life in this dynamic city: bustling street scenes, ringside views of boxing matches, and boys diving and swimming in the East River. Art reproductions and photographs from his youth round out the book.

Publishers Weekly, starred review
The book's excellent reproductions of Bellows' work will excite young readers and budding artists. A fine portrait of an artist not on everyone's radar but whose work can be readily understood and appreciated by youngsters.
