Abstract
In this article, we are going to briefly analyze some pieces of George Bellows artwork, from the perspective of an inclusive modernity, which is fluid and less divisive, harboring pluralities, and, furthermore, regarding what does not come into effect in the scope of what is considered vanguard. We shall also tackle the concept of pictorial realism, and male gaze, and how these very concepts relate to the Modernity and to the forms of being, seeing and the idea of pleasure inside the Bellowsian’s body of work, taking into account that the American art has, within its core, latent modernity.
