Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Bellows attended Ohio State University. He moved to New York in 1904, studying at the New York School of Art.
Close to the portraitist Robert Henri and an associate of John Sloan, for whom he worked on the Socialist publication "The Masses" from 1912 to 1917, Bellows combined an interest in the ordinary working man and urban life with a keen enthusiam for sport. He is as well known for his images of boxing, for example, as for his studies of city construction sites and laborers.
Deeply affected by the human suffering of World War I and influenced by European modernists he first encountered at the 1913 Armory Show, Bellows' work in the last decade of his short life moved away from the urban narratives for which he is now best remembered to explore symbolic themes and new theories of color and composition.
