For one week in 1919 some of tennis's most legendary competitors met at the grass courtyard of Rhode Island's Newport Casino. George Bellows was present for the event, and though he was himself an avid tennis player, his deeper fascination was with the setting itself. Whereas his famous paintings of clandestine boxing matches are dark and lurid, emphasizing the raw power of the competitors and the animal passions of the crowd, Tennis Tournament is suffused in heavenly sunlight that sweeps across the lush, green courtyard. The well-dressed attendees are calm and collected; some watch the game while others mill about the grounds, politely socializing. Just as Bellows made no attempt to romanticize his working class subjects, he likewise refrains from any criticism of the wealthy at Newport; he depicts contemporary American society as it was, and leaves it for us to decide how to feel about it.
