Artists judging works of art

Item Information

Title:
Artists judging works of art
Description:
A satire. The result of having served on a jury. Many well-known artists may be distinguished in good-natured caricature. To the extreme right is George Bellows himself. (Bellows) / The result of a young artist's first service on an official jury. For fear of offense none of the "likenesses" will be painted out. They are whoever they are. -GB The setting is probably the National Arts Club. Bellows pictured himself as the observer in the upper right, in this satirical comment on the contemporary art world. Is that his friend Robert Henri seated in the shadow, right foreground? A drawing that appeared in "The Masses," April 1915, titled "Jury Duty" closely resembles this lithograph. (Mason)
