1917
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Two Girls, first state is a 1917 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two nude figures leaning over a table, their bodies twisted in awkward positions. The background is dark and blurry, with only a faint shape of a chair and a wall visible. The artist used quick, rough lines to draw the figures, making their skin look smooth but the scene feel urgent. The drawing looks unfinished, like a fast study rather than a polished work. The focus is on the bodies and the table, not the details around them. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
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.
