B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY PHILADELPHIA Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 http://archive.org/details/memorialexhibitiOOeaki THOMAS EAKINS, ABOUT 1870 THOMAS EAKINS THOMAS EAK1NS, REALIST " 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 Hol- landish. I was a pupil of Gerome, also of Bonnat and of Dumont, sculptor. I have taught in life classes and lectured oh 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." Thus with characteristic brevity and natural modesty, in reply to a letter requesting information regarding him- self, Thomas Eakins, destined to become the greatest of all modern realists, son of Benjamin Eakins, whose por- trait he has immortalized in " The Writing Master," summed up his career. His first knowledge of art, however, was obtained at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Later, in the autumn of 1866, he went to Paris and during three years came under the instruction of Gerome and Bonnat, and of Dumont, the sculptor. It is interesting to note that he became a favorite pupil of that inimitable teacher, Gerome, whom he always revered, and that he 7 I was on terms of intimacy with the entire Bonheur family. He saw Auguste painting on the large cattle- piece, which hangs in our Gibson collection, and many were the anecdotes that he could relate concerning Rosa and her brothers. Too ardent study resulted in impaired health and in December of 1869, he forsook the studio life of Paris for the sunny slopes of Spain. In the great galleries of Madrid, he grew to know the works of the Spanish realists, Herrera the Elder, Ribera and Velasquez, and recognized the sincerity and power of their art, an influence which made itself apparent in all of his after work. Eakins returned to Philadelphia in 1870, where he lived until death ended his activities on June 25th, 1916. He was the head of the Academy Schools for some years and later founded the Art Students' League. Elected an associate of the National Academy of De- sign in 1902, he was made during the same year an Academician. Absolutely thorough in all things, — he knew perfectly drawing, composition, perspective and anatomy, which latter subject he studied at the Jefferson Medical College under those surgeons of international reputation, Gross and Pancoast. " No painting should be out of perspec- tive," he frequently remarked, and was wont to term " cowardly " those paintings that left much to the imagination, in spite of which he was a most tolerant man when on a jury of artists. 8 But not alone was it his knowledge of drawing, com- position, anatomy and perspective that made Eakins great; his constructive ability was wonderful, — he fairly modelled in paint, if one may so express it. He built up the whole form, giving every plane its proper relation and value so that the feeling of being able " to go all around " one of his figures, the Gross or the Agnew, for instance, is experienced, as when viewing a great Velas- quez, but more important even than these was his marvellous insight into character and his power to analyze and portray it, and when one compares most of the portraits of our time with an Eakins' from the Eakins' viewpoint, they look weak and thin, — the Eakins' stands out full of life and character. Illustrative of this talent was the amusing reply made by the late Edwin A. Abbey, when asked as to why he did not have Eakins paint his portrait. " For the reason," he answered, laughing, " that he would bring out all those traits of my character I have been trying to conceal from the public for years." Look at the men and women whom Eakins painted, — a President of the United States, surgeons, physicians, physicists, clergymen, editors, educators, artists, sculp- tors, musicians and financiers ; none will be found un- interesting; most of them distinguished; and all of them earnest thinking men and women with a definite aim in life. While a few art lovers have always known and realized the remarkable work of this great man, they were necessarily few, for he was not and could not 9 he a popular portrait painter. Insipid prettiness did not appeal to him, neither would he endeavor to flatter his subject in any way, nor was he attracted by the sensuous or unclean, but it was always character, character, character. It seems extraordinary that while the art world during his artistic career had been drifting from one thing to another, the majority of artists following first this cult and then that, Eakins himself remained true to the way he had mapped out, — the hard way, which he trod sincerely, honestly, independently and fearlessly, all of which traits were strong elements in his make-up. It mattered not the cost, Eakins did what he felt and believed to be right even though the whole world were against him. An incident that will chow his lack of fear and also his spirit toward his fellowman happened soon after his return from the West, where he had been living among the cow-boys. He had occasion to cross Walnut Street bridge, which was infested with thugs in those days, late one night, and therefore took his large revolver along. Two toughs were waiting for a possible victim, and, as Eakins walked across the bridge, he cocked his revolver in his pocket. The thieves evidently heard it, for one said to the other, " Let him go by, we'll get the next." After Eakins had passed the men, he waited for the man following and escorted him the rest of the dis- tance over the bridge. To those of us who knew him intimately for a quarter 10 of a century or more and have always esteemed his work, one and all, we must say, " Here was a man." While this exhibition must mean much to all students of art, the beginners, whether they wish to adopt his standards of art or not, may take a leaf from his notebook and follow his singleness of purpose, sincerity, and fidelity to the great truths of nature, un- affected by the cost, following art for art's sake, and finally achieving what they set out to do. In this memorial exhibition, perhaps the largest col- lection of Eakins' works ever brought together or that ever will be, we wish to acknowledge our thanks to Mrs. Eakins and to Samuel Murray, his faithful and devoted pupil, for their invaluable assistance, and to the many friends who have loaned their paintings to make the exhibition a success.
