The full range of Thomas Eakins's art - lively sporting scenes, psychologically incisive portraits, dramatic historical tableaux, as well as numerous sculptures and innovative photographs - is explored in revealing detail in this critical biography. This edition adds an appendix discussing discoveries about Eakins's use of photography and a bibliographical addendum. Professor Homer explains Eakins's working methods through telling comparisons between his paintings and the photographs and drawings that were part of his creative process. Drawing on previously undiscovered primary sources, Homer paints a nuanced portrait of the career of this controversial artist, who was too frequently seen as a victim of the establishment. The result is a publication which helps to demythologize Eakins without diminishing his brilliance or importance.
