Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the foremost American painters of the 19th century, Eakins (1844-1916) was also a pioneer photographer, his most innovative aspect being his emphasis on the nude, then rarely encountered in the US. This catalogue of the Eakins photographs in the Pennsylvania Academy's Charles Bregler collection includes about three-fourths of Eakins' photographic output. It describes the entire collection of 648 images, reproducing 173 bandw photographs, 52 duotones, and a portfolio section of 16 tritones. The accompanying essays suggest new ways of looking at the photographs in terms not only of Eakins' own art but also of the history of the medium. 10.25x9.75" Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography is the first comprehensive encyclopedia of world photography up to the beginning of the twentieth century. It sets out to be the standard, definitive reference work on the subject for years to come.

The Encyclopedia presents new and ground-breaking research alongside accounts of the major established figures in the nineteenth century arena. Coverage includes all the key people, processes, equipment, movements, styles, debates and groupings which helped photography develop from being ‘a solution in search of a problem’ when first invented, to the essential communication tool, creative medium, and recorder of everyday life which it had become by the dawn of the twentieth century. The sheer breadth of coverage in the 1200 essays makes the Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography an essential reference source for academics, students, researchers and libraries worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life and work of Thomas Eakins (1844–1916), America’s most celebrated portrait painter, have long generated heated controversy. In this fresh and deeply researched interpretation of the artist, Amy Werbel sets Eakins in the context of Philadelphia’s scientific, medical, and artistic communities of the 19th century, and considers his provocative behavior in the light of other well-publicized scandals of his era. This illuminating perspective provides a rich, alternative account of Eakins and casts entirely new light on his renowned paintings. Eakins’ modern critics have described his artistic motivations and beliefs as prurient and even pathological. Werbel challenges these interpretations and suggests instead that Eakins is best understood as an artist and teacher devoted to an exacting and profound study of the human body, to equality for women and men, and to middle-class meritocratic and Quaker philosophies.

Book excerpt: Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) is best known as a realist painter and as an artist with a deep interest in science. Although this legacy has been shaped primarily by his contributions as a painter, Eakins was also an avid amateur photographer. The full scope of his photographic work was little known until 1985, when a cache of his negatives and prints were acquired by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Instead of documenting modern life or to emulating the scientific photography of the late nineteenth century, Eakins's photography indicates a preoccupation with romanticized subject matter, including blurred landscapes and idealized nudes. This contradiction, that a scientific medium would allow a realist artist a place to be less concerned with Realism, is the concern of this research. Eakins, was clearly influenced by the emerging American Pictorialist movement of the late nineteenth century, however, he was using this aesthetic to somewhat different ends. Looking at Eakins's photographs against examples of pictorialist photographers, allows an examination of these differences. Eakins relied on the photographic medium's inherent reference to optical truth, a reliance which then allowed him to explore subject matter and aesthetic themes absent from his painting. As has been suggested of his use of Realism in painting, Eakins's photography positioned viewers to scrutinize their expectations of visual truth. Eakins's photographic romanticism, usually denied an important place in his oeuvre, can, in light of this research, be seen to signify a prescient engagement with modernisms conflicted relationship to objective and subjective truths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Eakins was misunderstood in life, his brilliant work earned little acclaim, and hidden demons tortured and drove him. Yet the portraits he painted more than a century ago captivate us today, and he is now widely acclaimed as the finest portrait painter our nation has ever produced. This book recounts the artist's life in fascinating detail, drawing on a treasure trove of Eakins family correspondence and papers that have only recently been discovered. Never before has Thomas Eakins's story been told with such drama, clarity, and accuracy. Sidney Kirkpatrick sets the painter's life and art in the wider context of the changing world he devoted himself to portraying, and he also addresses the artist's private life-the contradictory impulses, obsessions, and possible psychological illness that fired his work. Kirkpatrick underscores Eakins's unflinching integrity as an artist and discloses how his profound appreciation of the beauty of the human form was both the source of his greatness and ultimately of his undoing. Nevertheless, the author observes, Eakins has had his "revenge," inspiring a new generation of realist painters and gaining the recognition that eluded him in life.
