	Thomas Eakins, The Agnew Clinic and The Concert Singer
		Eakins had another life-size portrait of a woman from outside the family circle under way during the same time he was painting [President] Van Buren: The Concert Singer, a portrayal of Weda Cook-- and for a least some of the time during work on the canvas, the studio was not silent.
		Each session began with Eakins asking her to sing "O rest in the Lord" for him, as Whitman had done, but with the painter watching her mouth and throat "as if through a microscope." The result was the first full-lenth standing female portrait of Eakin's career.
		Eakins was given various bureaucratic reasons for the decision, prompting him to recall-- and write down on his copy of his letter to the Academy -- an extended passage concerning lies and animadversions from Rabelais's Pantagruel.

	NCAW Winter 03 \| Alan Braddock reviews Thomas Eakins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Philadelphia painter Thomas Eakins (1844–1916), considered by many to be the paragon of American realism, was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition in 2001–2002 organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with additional venues at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
		As the first Eakins retrospective held since the discovery in 1985 of Charles Bregler's private collection of works by the artist, the exhibition truly was unprecedented in its scope and range of materials, especially in the area of photography.
		The Eakins exhibition lived up to its billing as a "retrospective" in more ways than one, by turning back the interpretive clock to a point before the influx of foreign intellectual influence in the United States, when a peculiarly native version of modernism prevailed in the field of American art history.

	Thomas Eakins - Miss Amelia Van Buren
		Eakins centered his attention on Van Buren's face and hands, creating through subtle means—deft highlights, distant glance, and relaxed yet tensile hands—an image of great psychological complexity.
		Eakins establishes in this passage Van Buren's character, her quiet strength and determination.
		Born in 1856 she was recorded by 1880 as an "artist in color." Her lifelong friendship with the Eakins family began when she took the artist’s life classes at the Pennsylvania Academy in 1884.

	Gender Identity :: Man Made: Thomas Eakins and the Construction of Gilded-Age Manhood (Men and Masculinity)
		Of course, Eakins is not a "minor American master of the late 19th century," but rather one of the finest, and most copiously studied, of American painters.
		Eakins did not work in an innocent time, nor did he possess an innocent eye; nonetheless his paintings, through their rigorously scientific realism and embrace of a physical ethic, were marginally acceptable to the guardians of public decency.
		It is fitting that Eakins would eventually land in hot water for exposing a male model to female students: his erotic attitude lay somewhere in the borderlands between idealization of the athletic male and celebration of the discerning female.

	THOMAS COWPERTHWAIT EAKINS 1844
		Thomas Eakins was assuredly one of America's greatest artists, and at the heart of his accomplishment was the elevation of portraiture to a level equal with the highest precedents of the past.
		But throughout, the human form and the portrait, explicitly or implicitly, remained the core of his art, for in the figure were always the fundamental elements he cared about: specificity and individuality, character and achievement, and ultimately the triumphant as well as tortured ingredients of the human condition.
		Eakins often employed color as an expressive device in his portraits, and a variety of pinks for the dresses of women sitters in this period expresses a strong emotional range from tenderness to passion.

	Thomas Eakins - The Honorable John A. Thorton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		THOMAS EAKINS, N.A. From his earliest student days in Paris, where he studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Eakins had realized that painting portraits might account for a significant part of his income.
		The Gross Clinic (1875, Thomas Jefferson University), the painting with which he hoped to establish his reputation at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, was a heroic male portrait in the tradition of the European portrait d'apparat, in which the painting's various elements combine to express the subject's personality and interests.
		The early years of the twentieth century were a most productive period for Eakins, and Lloyd Goodrich notes that in 1903 and 1904 the artist painted about twice as many pictures as in any previous period.
