BELLOWS, GEORGE WESLEY American artist, was born in Columbus (0.), on Aug. 12, 1882. Educated at Ohio State university, he moved in 19o4 to New York, where he studied art under Robert Henri. In 191o, 1918 and 1919 he was an instructor at the Art Students' League in New York city, and in 1919 taught also at the Chicago Art institute. His work is distinguished by dignity of composition, vitality and intense interest in life. His drawings and lithographs include many no table illustrations of sporting subjects, and his painting showed at first a preference for sable shades. Later, however, he added to the distinction of his drawing a rich, vibrant use of colour. Among his paintings may be mentioned "Jean and Anna," in the Albright Art gallery, Buffalo (N.Y.) ; "Emma and Her Children," in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; "Portrait of my Mother," in the Chicago Art institute; "Polo Game," in the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts; "Stag at Sharkeys," in the Cleveland museum; "Men of the Docks," owned by Randolph-Macon Woman's col lege, Lynchburg (Va.) ; "Up the Hudson," in the Metropolitan Museum, New York city; and "North River," in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He died in New York city on Jan. 8, 1925.
