Founded by Tom “Sailor” Sharkey, an ex-fighter who had also served in the US Navy, the club attracted men seeking to watch or participate in matches. Because public boxing was illegal in New York at the time, a private event had to be arranged in order for a bout to take place. Participation was usually limited to members of a particular club, but whenever an outsider competed, he was given temporary membership and known as a “stag.” Although boxing had its share of detractors who considered it uncouth at best or barbaric at worst, its proponents—among them President Theodore Roosevelt—regarded it a healthy manifestation of manliness. Around the time Bellows painted <em>Stag at Sharkey’s, </em>boxing was moving from a predominantly working-class enterprise to one with greater genteel appeal. For some contemporaries, boxing was a powerful analogy for the notion that only the strongest and fittest would flourish in modern society.","did_you_know":"George Bellows was raised in Columbus, Ohio, and attended Ohio State University where he played baseball and basketball.","creation_date":"1909","accession_number":"1922.1133","share_license_status":"CC0"}},"meta":{"timestamp":"2026-06-08T01:18:43.466Z","request_id":"4cea41ce-1be3-45a1-8ea4-431cf38f2cff"},"status":"ok","message":"Artwork retrieved successfully","success":true}}}},"401":{"description":"Missing or invalid x-oanor-key header"},"402":{"description":"Active subscription required"},"429":{"description":"Rate-limit or monthly quota reached"},"502":{"description":"Upstream did not respond"}}}},"/v1/creator":{"get":{"operationId":"get_v1_creator","tags":["Artworks"],"summary":"Artworks by a creator","description":"","parameters":[{"name":"name","in":"query","required":true,"description":"Creator name, e.g. Claude Monet","schema":{"type":"string"},"example":"Claude Monet"},{"name":"limit","in":"query","required":false,"description":"Page size","schema":{"type":"string"},"example":"20"}],"security":[{"oanorKey":[]}],"responses":{"200":{"description":"OK","content":{"application/json":{"example":{"data":{"count":5,"total":5,"creator":"Claude Monet","artworks":[{"id":135382,"url":"https://clevelandart.org/art/1958.39","type":"Painting","image":"https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1958.39/1958.39_web.jpg","title":"The Red Kerchief","culture":["France, 19th century"],"creators":["Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926)"],"technique":"oil on fabric","department":"Modern European Painting and Sculpture","dimensions":"Framed: 128.3 x 105.7 x 14.6 cm (50 1/2 x 41 5/8 x 5 3/4 in.); Unframed: 99 x 79.8 cm (39 x 31 7/16 in.)","image_full":"https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1958.39/1958.39_full.tif","description":"This painting depicts Monet's first wife, Camille, outside on a snowy day passing by the French doors of their home at Argenteuil.
