Caption | The life class, second stone. The Henri night class in the old school at the north-east corner of Fifty-seventh Street and Sixth Avenue, New York. (Bellows) / When Bellows arrived in New York in 1904, he lived at the YMCA and immediately enrolled in William Merritt Chase's New York School of Art two blocks away at Fifty-seventh Street and Sixth Avenue. In his own words, "I found myself in my first art school under Robert Henri..My life begins at this point." (CHM, p. 37) Henri left the financially distressed New York School of Art and in early 1909 set up classes in the Lincoln Arcade Building at 1947 Broadway--down the corridor from the studio that Bellows shared with Ed Keefe and Eugene O'Neill. Bellows helped Henri with odd jobs around the studio. The evening life class, shown here, was for young men who worked during the day. Another lithograph on the same subject (M. 8) is earlier and probably unique. The artist's only etching is a variation of the same theme. (Mason). Artist: Bellows, George, 1882-1925. Date: 1917.
