George Wesley Bellows – Stag Night at Sharkey’s<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

An athlete himself, George Wesley Bellows depicts the brutal sport of boxing in Stag Night at Sharky\u2019<\/em>s. Prizefighting was illegal in New York City in the early part of the twentieth century. Consequently, underground fight clubs like Sharkey’s prospered.

For instance, it features his characteristic flat forms along with smooth brushstrokes and earthy tones. Also, adding some unique highlights and shading that add depth and movement to the portrait.

\"Paul<\/p>\n

Paul Cezanne – Artist’s Father Reading<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

In Artist\u2019s Father Reading<\/em>, Paul Cezanne captured his own father in a quiet moment. The painter used detail and rich color to create an accurate depiction of the subject as he enjoys reading his paper in peace. It would be easy to imagine the father listening to his son as he paints. Show your father that you are thankful for his quiet patience with this modern classic.<\/p>\n
