• Michigan History magazine. This month's feature: Jack Dempsey and the Battle of Benton Harbor
Hailed as "the most acclaimed artist of his generation," George Wesley Bellows, a native Ohioan who rejected suggestions to play professional baseball, turned to painting. After studying at Ohio State University, Bellows moved to New York City where he became a student of Robert Henri and the New York School of Art. He first achieved recognition in 1908. Bellow's "Dempsey against Firpo" recounts the September 1923 fight where Dempsey successfully defended his title in a tough match with contender Luis Angel Firpo of Argentina at New York City's Polo Grounds.
