The most revealing and interesting writings of American artist
Thomas Eakins are the letters he sent to family and friends while
he was a student in Paris between 1866 and 1870. This book presents
all these letters in their entirety for the first time; in fact,
this is the first edition of Eakins's correspondence from the
period. Edited and annotated by Eakins authority William Innes
Homer, this book provides a treasure trove of new information,
revealing previously hidden facets of Eakins's personality,
providing a much richer picture of his artistic development, and
casting fresh light on his debated psychosexual makeup. The book is
illustrated with the small, gemlike drawings Eakins included in his
correspondence, as well as photographs and paintings.
In these letters, Eakins speaks openly and frankly about human
relationships, male companionship, marriage, and women. In vivid,
charming, and sometimes comic detail, he describes his impressions
of Paris--from the training he received in the studio of Jean-Leon
Gerome to the museums, concerts, and popular entertainments that
captured his imagination. And he discusses with great insight
contemporary aesthetic and scientific theories, as well as such
unexpected subjects as language structure, musical composition, and
ice-skating technique. Also published here for the first time are
the letters and notebook Eakins wrote in Spain following his Paris
sojourn.
This long-overdue volume provides an indispensable portrait of
a great American artist as a young man."
