Happy Fourth of July to our American visitors. One of our newest acquisitions, Bellows’ ‘Men of the Docks’ depicts day labourers on the docks of Brooklyn, with Lower Manhattan visible in the distance. You can view it in room 45: http://bit.ly/1fzYEIq
George Bellows' "Forty-two Kids” elicited significant attention when it was first exhibited. It was recognized as “one of the most original and vivacious canvases” at the National Academy of Design’s 1908 exhibition. It was also viewed with “a pleasurable sensation” and relished for its “humor” and “humanity."
"American Masterworks from the Corcoran, 1815-1940" runs through May 3: 1.usa.gov/1KyEXsK.
