This charming lithograph by one of the most important American artists of the early 20th Century is reminiscent of the Bellows painting, Romanian Girl, 1921, one of treasures of the Dorsky’s permanent collection. The model for the female figure was the artist’s wife, Emma Bellows.
George Bellows paintings and prints are in the collections of American art museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, NY, the Whitney and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and The Hyde Collection, in Glens Falls, NY. The Columbus Museum of Art in Bellows' hometown has a sizeable collection of both his portraits and New York street scenes. The White House acquired his 1919 painting Three Children in 2007, and it is now displayed in the Green Room. The Whitney Museum of American Art published a biography of Bellows by fellow artist George William Eggers as part of the American Artists Series. In 1992 it mounted an extensive exhibition of his art, a joint venture with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
