An American Original: George Bellows, His Lithographs, and the 1936 Texas Centennial
Experience the fascinating and diverse lithographs of famed American painter and printmaker George Bellows (1882–1925) in this special exhibition from the Carter’s permanent collection.
The show reassembles Bellows’ thirty-two lithographs from the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas. Bellows was known for his ability to capture the truth of American life through his varied subject matter, which includes scenes of urban life, boxing, popular religion, portraits, female nudes, and magazine illustrations.
Comments
It is interesting that the Amon Carter Museum would focus on art relating to the Texas Centennial celebration in Dallas when Mr. Carter hated the idea that Dallas was hosting. He went to such great lengths to create a rival celebration in Fort Worth that to showcase Dallas art at his namesake museum would surely have offended him.
Your at is great. Do you ever show any art from Hollend?
