Thomas Eakins: An American Realist
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Looks at how Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) now ranks as one of the most significant American Realist painters, yet he was never popular in his own lifetime. Too conservative for the modernists and too radical for the traditionalists, his rugged individualism constantly got him into trouble with the art establishment. A brilliant anatomist, he presented the world of sports and medicine as well as family and friends, and was an important experimental photographer.
