Bellows' bittersweet quality comes clear in the two pictures (opposite) that are favorites with gallerygoers in Manhattan and Bellows' home town of Columbus, Ohio. The Whitney Museum's Dempsey and Firpo shows Bellows at his toughest- hard, sweaty, and as direct as a left jab. He was at ringside with a commission from the New York Journal to draw the fight.

...floor of the Bundestag, where he deftly maneuvers a bloc of 130 Socialist Deputies (against some 200 who normally stand by Adenauer), Schumacher evokes the same feelings. With painful-looking gestures, hissing sentences, here a lightning jab and there a sour sarcasm, he seems-whether he means to or not- the reincarnation of the rabble-rousers who all but destroyed his own body and led Germany down to catastrophe...
