The Studio
In The Studio, Bellows takes a modern approach to the time-honored theme of domestic life. Here, he experimented with compositions and color based on techniques used by modern artists Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso. The outline of his wife on the canvas at left, for example, features asymmetrical divisions suggesting a modern design.
