The Studio (1919). George Bellows (American,1882–1925). Oil on canvas. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.Bellows exposes his craving for an orderly, middle-class life along with his working methods in the stage-set painting, The Studio. Here in a spotless work space, his two daughters sit among their newly opened Christmas presents while their father, decked out in white shirt, jacket and cuffed slacks, rebats the square and draws the diagonals that will underpin his portrait of their mother (Emma) who, clothed in an evening dress, sits raised on a model’s platform. -- source link
