EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Tennis, 1920" captures the essence of early 20th-century America through the lens of sports. Created by renowned artist George Wesley Bellows, this print showcases his mastery in realism and his ability to depict movement with incredible precision. The scene takes place on a sunny day at a tennis court, where two players engage in an intense match. Dressed in traditional tennis whites, their rackets poised mid-swing, they epitomize the athleticism and grace of this popular spectator sport. Surrounding them are onlookers eagerly spectating from the sidelines; their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. Bellows' attention to detail is evident not only in the portrayal of human figures but also in his depiction of nature. Tall trees frame the court, providing shade for both players and spectators alike. Lush plants add vibrancy to the surroundings while emphasizing the tranquility that can be found amidst competitive play. As we gaze upon this artwork from our National Gallery of Art collection, we are transported back to a time when tennis was emerging as one of America's favorite pastimes. Bellows' skillful brushwork invites us into this moment frozen in time – a testament to his contribution to American art history.
