# Business Men's Class, in The 20th century

George Bellows made this in 1916, aged 34. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> This scene takes place at the West Side YMCA, where George Bellows lived when he arrived in New York City from Columbus, Ohio, in 1904. Worry about the potentially debilitating impact of sedentary office jobs inspired new forms of exercise, such as calisthenics.
