George Bellows, 1907 - Little Girl in White (Queenie Burnett) - fine art print

(© Copyright - National Gallery of Art - National Gallery of Art)

Advised by his friend and teacher Robert Henri to select subjects that reflected the realism of modern urban life, George Bellows portrayed the recreational activities of New York City’s lower-class children in such paintings as River Rats (1906, private collection), and Forty-two Kids (1907). In 1907 he painted two full-length portraits of individual children: Little Girl in White and Frankie the Organ Boy (both now at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO). Unlike his late 19th-century predecessors, who popularized the street urchin genre by representing well-scrubbed, idealized children playing with pets or engaged in entrepreneurial activities, Bellows portrayed his subjects in a bluntly realistic manner. The subject of this painting, Queenie Burnett, was the artist’s laundry delivery girl. Her underprivileged background is evident in her gaunt face, exaggeratedly large eyes, unkempt hair, and ungainly figure.

This was Bellows’s first figural work to be exhibited around the country—it was included in 15 public exhibitions during his lifetime—and he was awarded the first Hallgarten Prize when the painting was shown at the National Academy of Design in 1913.
