Bathing Diving Jumping Platform Playful Summertime Sunbathing Swimming
Forty-two Kids, 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
by George Wesley Bellows captures a vibrant and carefree moment in time. This oil on canvas print showcases a group of energetic boys enjoying the freedom of summer. The scene unfolds outdoors, where the sun-drenched beach becomes their playground. In this playful composition, we witness an array of activities that epitomize childhood joy. Some children are seen diving fearlessly into the water from a wooden platform, while others engage in friendly competition as they jump and splash around. A few youngsters bask in the warm sunlight, relishing every moment of their sunbathing session. Bellows' masterful brushstrokes bring to life the exuberance and innocence radiating from these young souls. Their nakedness symbolizes both vulnerability and liberation as they embrace nature's elements without inhibition or self-consciousness. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout the painting - from each child's unique posture to the shimmering reflections on the water's surface. Through his skillful use of color and light, Bellows transports us back to a simpler era filled with laughter and unbridled enthusiasm. This remarkable artwork now resides within the Corcoran Collection at National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers, reminding us all of our own cherished memories spent under sunny skies during those blissful summer days.
