Reviews"In the final decade of his quick-paced but foreshortened life, he added lithography to his combination of painter-illustrator, knocking out hundreds of prints of urban life as well as depictions of the civilian horrors of World War I. George Bellows: American Life in Print , a new volume by Kristin L. Spangenberg, reveals the haunting energy of these innovative works."-- James Panero , The New Criterion

SynopsisGeorge Bellows (1882-1925) was a painter, illustrator, and printmaker. His career established, in late 1915 he turned to lithography. Over the next nine years he almost single-handedly elevated lithography to a fine art. The inherent flexibility of the process, its potential for drawing in vigorous strokes and its richness of tone were well suited to his style. The subjects that fascinated him range from intimate studies of his family and friends to snapshots of American life, the atrocities of World War I, and the subject that first caught the public's attention: boxing. All were new and undeniably American. George Bellows: American Life in Print features two essays, featuring an in-depth examination of sixty-six lithographs and drawings and an examination of his rise to fame, focusing on his long term relationship with the Cincinnati Art Museum and its "Annual Exhibition of American Art." This book also inchudes a catalogue section, an exhibition checklist and a bibliography., A major new volume celebrating the lithographs of George Wesley Bellows, regarded as one of America's greatest artists.
