He's not Thomas Eakins, but he painted a large group of boys about to jump off a wooden pier and into a lake in another work. This artist of The Barricade and 42 Kids depicted a surprised (*) crowd as a man in shorts falls through rope. The most famous painting by this artist contrasts with a similar work, Dempsey and Firpo, with its less-defined borders between objects and the less sophisticated crowd cheering on the two fighters in a boxing match. For 10 points, name this American painter of the Ashcan school, best known for Stag at Sharkey's.
