EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Preliminaries, 1916" is a masterpiece created by the talented American artist George Wesley Bellows. The artwork captures a moment in the early 20th century, showcasing an intense boxing match taking place in an American arena. The scene is filled with energy as boxers engage in their pre-match rituals while spectators eagerly await the main event. Dressed in elegant evening attire, ladies and gentlemen gather around the ring to witness this thrilling spectacle of strength and skill. A referee stands at attention, ready to ensure fairness throughout the fight. Amongst the crowd, we notice a variety of characters: men wearing top hats and women adorned in fashionable dresses. An onlooker's dog adds an unexpected touch to this lively scene. Bellows' attention to detail brings each individual to life, capturing their expressions of anticipation and excitement. "Preliminaries" not only showcases Bellows' mastery of realism but also provides us with a glimpse into America's sporting culture during that era. This print from the National Gallery of Art Washington serves as a testament to Bellows' artistic prowess and his ability to capture both human emotion and physicality. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time – immersed within an atmosphere where sport becomes artistry itself.
