1921
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
My Family, Second Stone is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a family of four in a cozy room. A woman in a dress with a high collar sits on a chair, holding a baby. A man in a suit stands behind her, reading something. A little girl in a simple dress stands nearby, looking up at the woman. The artist used bold lines and shading to show the family’s expressions and the room’s details. The woman’s dress and the man’s suit are drawn with careful strokes, making them stand out. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
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.
