O díle
George Bellows turns towards the spectators in Preliminaries, his print of 1916 in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Wealthy visitors arrive to take their places at Madison Square Garden, while the boxing match occupies the background. By then boxing had become legal in New York and was drawing people beyond its traditional audience of working-class men. Bellows’s widow connected the subject to the first New York bout that admitted women as spectators. The arriving group, rather than the fighters, occupies the foreground.
Slovy muzea
By 1916, the year Bellows created Preliminaries, boxing was legal in New York and had begun attracting audiences beyond its usual working-class, male demographic. Relegating the ensuing match to the background, this print focuses on a group of wealthy spectators who arrive to take their seats in Madison Square Garden. According to the artist’s widow, the subject was occasioned by the first bout in New York to which women were permitted to attend.

The quarrel with Pennell: who may paint a war
The artist Joseph Pennell argues that, since Bellows did not witness the events he painted, he has no right to paint them; Bellows replies that he had not known Leonardo da Vinci “had a ticket to paint the Last Supper”.
