American painter George Bellows painted this scene of boys swimming off a New York dock with the vigorous brushwork and urban realism that characterized the Ashcan School. Figures tumble and dive in energetic profusion.
Bellows captured working-class New York with raw vitality. This painting caused controversy for its nudity but was praised for its energy. It hangs at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
