Bellows, George Wesley (1882-1925) ,
American realist painter of the Ashcan school. He was born in Columbus, Ohio, and educated at Ohio State University. He studied with the realist painter Robert Henri, who strongly influenced him, and later taught in New York City and Chicago. Bellows's early work, in a vigorous style, chiefly depicted scenes of urban life and often the world of boxing, such as his most famous painting, Stag at Sharkey's (1909, Cleveland Museum of Art). He received rapid recognition, becoming an unusually young member of the National Academy of Design in 1913.

Bellows concentrated on portraits, such as Edith Clavell, the British nurse (1918, Museum of Fine Arts, Springfield, Massachusetts); Jean and Anna (1920, Buffalo Fine Arts Academy); Emma and Her Children (1923, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston); and on landscapes, such as Up the Hudson (1908, Metropolitan Museum, New York City); and Gramercy Park (1920, Whitney Museum, New York City). He produced lithographs of such fine quality that he inspired a renewed interest in the medium.
