1921
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Four Friends, first state is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows four men in a dimly lit room. Three are adjusting the tie of the fourth, who stands in the center with his hands on his hips. The men wear suits and hats, and the background has a faint outline of a window or door. One man holds a cane or umbrella, and the scene looks hurried or informal. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture movement and personality. The lighting is simple but effective, focusing on the faces and hands. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
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.
