Bellows's (1882-1925) paintings of New York in the early decades of the 20th century captured the city's bigness and boldness without sentimentality or sanitation. In this highly illustrated volume (including 18 color plates), Doezema explores why it was that Bellows's paintings--despite being considered coarse in technique and subject matter--were acclaimed by critics and patrons, by conservatives, progressives, and radicals alike.
