EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Forty-two Kids, 1907" by George Wesley Bellows takes us back to the early 20th century in America. This remarkable oil painting, displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, captures a vibrant scene along the East River in New York City. In this snapshot of time, we witness a group of forty-two energetic boys enjoying their summer days near the river's mouth. The artist skillfully portrays their youthful spirit and carefree nature as they engage in various activities. Some dive fearlessly into the refreshing water from an old wooden jetty while others bask under the warm sun or indulge in a smoke break. Bellows' use of color brings life to this picturesque location, with its serene estuary and lush surroundings. The nakedness of these young men adds an element of rawness and freedom to the composition, reflecting a simpler era where societal norms were different. This artwork not only showcases Bellows' mastery but also serves as a window into American history during that time period. It reminds us of our connection to nature and how leisurely pursuits like swimming and sunbathing have always been cherished pastimes across generations. As we admire "Forty-two Kids" let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its ability to transport us back to an era when life was less complicated—a moment frozen on canvas for all eternity.
