With a Shawl” is a front view of a grrl, nude from the waist up and her clothes start on the edges of her shoulders. Or her shoulders start beneath the edges of the shawl” commented an unfavorable critio today.To determine for themselves just where refinement in nudity ceases and where immorality starts, a score of women from the Pen and Brush club rushed over to the Arts club to view Bellows’ work. Many unkind comments are reported.“It’s a dare,” one member of the inspecting party said. The artist submitted that picture to get notoriety.”Art has nothing to do with morality, tho morality has much to do with the artist,” is Bellows' defense of his picture.
