1921
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bathing Beach is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a crowded beach with people in swimsuits. Some are standing, talking, or adjusting their clothes, while others lie on the sand. In the foreground, two figures recline close together, smiling. The background is full of more people and a few horses or donkeys. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and energy. The scene feels lively, even though it’s just black and white. Check out George Bellows (American, 1882–1925) for more of his bold, expressive work.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
