"The Knock Out" is a painting by George Wesley Bellows, an American realist painter known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City during the early 20th century. Created in 1921, this artwork captures the raw energy and brutality of a boxing match, a subject that Bellows returned to multiple times throughout his career. The painting is part of a series that includes other notable works such as "Stag at Sharkey's" (1909) and "Both Members of This Club" (1909), which similarly portray the intensity of the sport.

In "The Knock Out," Bellows employs his characteristic vigorous brushwork and a rich palette to convey the dramatic climax of a fight. The composition focuses on the moment of impact, with one boxer delivering a decisive blow to his opponent, who is depicted in a state of collapse. The crowd surrounding the ring is rendered with a sense of chaotic movement, reflecting the excitement and violence of the scene.

Bellows' interest in boxing was partly due to the sport's popularity in the United States at the time, as well as its controversial nature; boxing matches were often illegal and took place in private clubs. His paintings of boxing matches are celebrated for their ability to capture the visceral experience of the sport and are considered some of the most powerful images in American art of the period.

"The Knock Out" is emblematic of Bellows' fascination with the human condition and his ability to depict the social realities of his time. The painting is not only a testament to his skill as an artist but also serves as a historical document of the sporting culture and societal attitudes of the early 20th century. As with many of Bellows' works, "The Knock Out" is housed in a prestigious art institution and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
