http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/758505446

The record books and ledger of internationally renowned, Columbus born artist George Bellows (1882-1925). Bellows, acclaimed as among the greatest American artists of his generation, maintained meticulous records of his artistic production including sales and exhibition showings, as well as documentation of works that were destroyed. Moreover, Bellows augmented the record books with over 200 thumbnail sketches of his original art. These documents are a unique research resource for the study of the historical art market, and the taste and culture of early 20th-century America. They are both records of an artist's life's work and art pieces in and of themselves. The record books were continued by family and the Bellows Trust until 1997.
