EDITORS COMMENTS
Counted Out, 1921 (litho) captures the intense atmosphere of a boxing match in the early 20th century. In this print by George Wesley Bellows, we witness a moment of defeat as one fighter lies on the canvas while the referee begins to count him out. The spectators watch with bated breath, their faces reflecting a mix of anticipation and disappointment. The lithograph showcases Bellows' mastery in capturing movement and emotion. The boxers' muscular bodies are rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting their strength and determination. The composition draws our attention to the central figures, emphasizing the physical clash between two opponents locked in combat. Beyond its portrayal of sportsmanship and competition, "Counted Out" also explores themes of masculinity and conflict. The image symbolizes more than just a boxing match; it represents an ongoing battle against adversity that extends beyond the ring. Displayed at San Diego Museum of Art, this print is part of an extensive collection that celebrates American art history. Its acquisition by the museum signifies its cultural significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of the physicality involved in boxing but also how it reflects larger societal struggles.
