<br/><br/> In addition to his renowned collection of 19th-century French impressionist paintings, highly sought after by major museums across the country, Chester Dale also admired and collected works by the American painter George Bellows (American, 1882 - 1925), a contemporary he had befriended in his youth in New York. By tragic happenstance, Bellows’s paintings were eligible to be incorporated into the permanent collection shortly after the Gallery opened because of the artist’s death from appendicitis at the age of 42 in 1925. Late in 1944, Dale, keenly aware of the pending 20th anniversary of Bellows’s demise, purchased what many would consider the artist’s greatest and most controversial painting, Shortly afterward, Dale bequeathed the work to the Gallery so that it could enter the permanent collection the moment it became eligible on January 8, 1945.
