Reviews
This is a terrific biography of a complicated and provocative artist. While not ignoring the many scandals that make the life of Thomas Eakins so interesting, Amy Werbel puts the focus of her book where it properly belongs: on the work of this wonderful artist, and on the intellectual training and traditions that contributed to it. In an entertaining and clear fashion, she deftly illustrates how Eakins's own medical study shaped his art and his unsentimental portrait style. Werbel's prose is a delight to read, and offers a compelling look at one of the nation's greatest painters. This is a gorgeous book and is highly recommended.
