George Wesley Bellows (American, 1882-1925) is associated with the Ashcan school of painting and is celebrated as a quintessential American realist painter, one of the few who never studied abroad. He showed his work at the 1910 Exhibition of Independent Artists and was the youngest member ever elected to the National Academy of Design. In 1913, Bellows helped to organize the famous Armory Show, in which he also exhibited his own work. Bellows studied under Robert Henri at the New York School of Art, directed by William Merrit Chase.
