George Bellows painted in Middletown, Rhode Island located east of Newport—where the Bellows family spent the summers of 1918 and 1919. Bellows’ time in Rhode Island resulted in some of his most important paintings of the Newport Casino including (1919, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) and (1920, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).

Depicting a lone figure journeying to the sea, Bellows paints with a birds eye perspective, using thick, colorful brushstrokes which yield a luscious surface. The present work also recalls the artist’s expressive paintings of the Maine Coast where he summered from 1911-1916. Michael Quick explains, “Bellows was not ready to abandon direct painting in 1919…The strong color and richly varied paint textures of works such as …recall his spirited landscapes of the last extended campaign, in 1916…” (, exhibition catalogue, New York, 1992, p. 67)
