Bellows studied at the New York School of Art under Robert Henri, the American realist disciple of Frans Hals and Edouard Manet. "My life begins at this point," he said of his apprenticeship to Henri. He soon developed a tough, pragmatic repertoire based on realist drawing and tonal composition.

He also wants preschool for every needy child, national examinations for elementary and secondary students, and guaranteed tuition for college students, who would repay it in cash or with national service.
