George Bellows: Art, Politics, and Boxing with Charlie Brock

Explore the evolution of George Bellows’ political identity in this conversation with Charlie Brock. The artist famously described his youth as “surrounded by Republicans” in Columbus.

Art and politics intersected in complex, sometimes contradictory ways throughout his brief but full life.
