{"product_id":"the-street-george-bellows","title":"The Street - George Bellows","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed lithograph by George Bellows capturing the dense, atmospheric energy of a crowded New York City street in 1917.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge Bellows, a central figure of the Ashcan School, produced this lithograph in 1917. The work captures the dense, chaotic energy of early twentieth-century New York City. Bellows focuses on the urban experience, documenting the crowded conditions of the Lower East Side. The composition is dominated by the looming structure of an elevated railway, which casts deep shadows over the figures below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is populated by a diverse array of city dwellers. Two women in the foreground, dressed in contemporary fashion, walk with a sense of detachment from the surrounding bustle. Nearby, a group of children and adults navigate the narrow thoroughfare. The artist employs a high-contrast tonal range, typical of his graphic work, to define the textures of clothing, the rough brickwork of the tenements, and the play of light on the pavement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBellows avoids romanticising the urban environment. Instead, he presents a direct observation of daily life. The figures in the windows of the tenement buildings add a sense of voyeurism to the composition, suggesting the cramped living quarters that defined the era. The lithographic process allows for a wide variety of marks, from the soft, atmospheric shading of the background to the sharper, more defined lines of the foreground figures. This print offers a window into the social fabric of a rapidly industrialising city, reflecting the artist's interest in the human condition within a modern, often overwhelming, metropolitan setting. The work remains a significant example of American printmaking from the early twentieth century, demonstrating the technical skill and observational rigour that defined Bellows's career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-sorcerers-apprentice-1-broom-is-brought-to-life-ernst-barlach\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Sorcerer's Apprentice 1 (Broom is brought to life) - Ernst Barlach — Ernst Barlach\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"George Bellows","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58623576473935,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58623589253455,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58623589286223,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58623589318991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58623589351759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58623589384527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58623589417295,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58623589450063,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58623589482831,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58623589515599,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58623589548367,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58623589581135,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Street_Poster_CompositorV1_1788200815898.jpg?v=1788201017","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-street-george-bellows","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
