EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph print titled "Hungry Dogs, second stone, 1916". George Wesley Bellows captures a poignant scene of urban life in early 20th century America. The image depicts an alleyway at night, illuminated by the dim glow of streetlights. A group of feral dogs can be seen foraging through a trash can, their hunger evident in their determined expressions. Bellows' artistic movement is showcased through his masterful use of realism, as he skillfully portrays the gritty reality of city living during this time period. The print serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by both humans and animals alike in an era marked by poverty and scarcity. The composition draws attention to the contrast between the wildness of these stray dogs and the organized chaos surrounding them - discarded rubbish scattered on the ground, dilapidated buildings looming overhead. Through this juxtaposition, Bellows highlights not only the plight of these forgotten creatures but also raises questions about humanity's responsibility towards its most vulnerable members. This evocative artwork now resides within the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , serving as a testament to Bellows' talent for capturing raw emotion and societal commentary through his art. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to a different time - one filled with struggle, resilience, and ultimately hope for change.
