"description": "Within the city\u2019s many parks, people from different social classes could mingle and observe one another. Both the men and women in this print are dressed in fashionable attire, and yet it remains unclear if the groups are of the same social class. By 1921, clothing mimicking couture fashions could be purchased off the rack, and even working-class men could buy the \u201cwhite collars\u201d associated with businessmen. The two ladies appear unaffected by the men\u2019s laughter and backward glances; unaccompanied, and apparently absorbed in conversation, they epitomized the increasing independence of young urban women.",

"biography": "An accomplished athlete, George Bellows (1882\u20131925) was an especially appropriate artist to address the subject of sports. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, he played baseball and basketball as a youth, developing sufficient ability to letter in both at Ohio State University. According to some accounts, scouts for the Cincinnati Reds took notice of his shortstop talents. However, Bellows\u2019s first love, art, ultimately intervened, and after his junior year he relocated to New York to study painting. In a remarkably short period he became the leading artist of his generation, a reputation fueled through boxing subjects such as Stag at Sharkey\u2019s. In his later years he developed recreational passions for tennis and billiards, which he routinely played with friends. Bellows\u2019s life was cut short at the age of 42, due to complications after his appendix ruptured.",
