George Bellows: Painter with a Punch! by Robert Burleigh

5.0

Burleigh has written a brief and lively biography of athlete and artist George Bellows, whose paintings of New York street life in the first few decades of the twentieth century are prized for their gritty realism and powerful sense of action. Bellows’s paintings and sketches and those of his contemporaries are beautifully reproduced and displayed alongside Burleigh’s vivid text by book designer Maria T. Middleton.
