Kenton Samuel Murray Gilbert S. Parker The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia Alexander Simpson, Jr. The University of Pennsylvania Miss M. A. Williams INTRODUCTION Realism L the general ideal of the schools of north- ern Europe, though from about the end of the seven- teenth century it was displaced by a courtly and artificial style in which, broadly speaking, reality served only as a more or less remote point of departure. The destiny of the nineteenth century was to set aside the trappings which hid from view the old tradition, and realism stands out as the main characteristic of the art of the century. The reaction began at the time of the French Revolution, taking the nature of a return to classical forms in which, however, the figures were rigorously studied from the living model. The next generation, Ingres at their head, made further advances in this direction and it was the great rivals of the clas- sicists, the romanticists, quickened by the English land- scapists of the time, who in effect formulated the creed of the realists as we know it. Both groups were work- ing toward the same goal, as now appears from our point of view, the one through form and the other through light and effect. With Courbet’s pictures in the Salon of 1851 the development showed itself com- plete. Approximately the same evolution took place simul- taneously in all the countries of European civilization. The Hudson River School in America was actuated largely by realism, but the efforts of its members were circumscribed by lack of foundation and experience. V INTRODUCTION Certain of the young men who grew up in the atmos- phere of this school were enabled to overcome these defects by study abroad — by contact with the main current of the movement in France. It is the work of the best of these, who were technically competent, even judged by foreign standards, and who still kept some- thing of the quality of the rugged and homely America of their prime, which represents most significantly our artistic accomplishment. Of this group was Thomas Eakins, sixty of whose pictures have been gathered here for a memorial exhibi- tion. It is the first time that so considerable a number of his works have been shown together and con- sequently the first chance that the public has had com- prehensively to judge his manly and thoughtful art. He was the most consistent of American realists, and throughout the forty-five years of his artistic career his point of view remained practically the same. His in- terest was in the people of his surroundings and in their work and recreations, and from these he chose his motives. H is continual search was for character in all things. The purpose of his work seems at times akin to that of a scientist — of a natural historian who sets down the salient traits of the subject he is studying — but in his case the scientific point of view was directed by a keen appreciation of the pictorial and frequently of the dramatic. The technical side of his painting partook also of the scientific with stress on the studies of anatomy and perspective, which, however, were kept in due subservience by his recognition of the higher elements of art. His pictures manifest always a con- tained and serious outlook ; they are free from all vagueness in thought or form. VI INTRODUCTION Eakins has never yet attained a general popularity. Only now and then did he condescend to please by charming color or elegant surfaces. Much of his work is indeed somewhat stern at first sight and his pictures demand an effort that all are not willing to give. But to those who take the trouble to enter into the artist’s ideal, a wealth of rare observation and enthusiastic workmanship will be revealed; the austerities of the painting are seen as fitting to the themes. The facts of his life can be given in his own words. In answer to a request for information about himself in 1893, he replied in the following note: “I was born July 25, 1844. My father’s father was from the north of Ireland of the Scotch Irish. On my mother’s side my blood is English and Hollandish. I was a pupil of Gerome (also of Bonnat and of Dumont, sculptor). I have taught in life classes, and lectured on anatomy continuously since 1873. I have painted many pictures and done a little sculpture. For the public I believe my life is all in my work. Yours truly, Thomas Eakins.” In elaboration of this characteristic letter it may be added that he first studied at the Pennsylvania Acad- emy of the Fine Arts; that in the autumn of 1866 he went to Paris, where he stayed three years ; that during those years he traveled in other parts of Europe and studied at various art centers; that in December, 1869, he went to Spain, where he painted Spanish subjects, among them The Gipsy Girl Dancing and a head of the gipsy girl, Carmencita Requena; that he returned to the United States in the summer of 1870 and settled in Philadelphia, where he lived until his death, June 25, vii INTRODUCTION 1916. For some years he taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Afterward the Art Stu- dents League was formed, with Thomas Eakins as in- structor. In 1902 he was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design and later in the same year was made an Academician. As examples of his work as a sculptor we may cite the horses in relief on the Sol- diers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Arch in Brooklyn and the reliefs on the Battle Monument at Trenton. Bryson Burroughs.
