Black & color illustrated wraps; 207 pp. 16 color, 124 bw repros. Considers well the life and work of American realist painter Thomas Eakins (1844-1916). "Examines Thomas Easkins in the cultural context of his era, late nineteenth-century America. Of the many themes that informed that rich era, several illuminate Easkins' career so clearly as to place him -- and his achievement -- in a bright light. I will set them forth in this study."
