Book Description: 1996. Catalogue - Softcove. Book Condition: New. FLAWLESS COPY - AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY, WHY WAIT? -- 140 pp., with 72 black-and-white and color reproductions - Catalogue for the exhibition, organized by Helen Cooper, presented at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (June 23-September 29, 1996); the Yale University Art Gallery (October 11, 1996-January 14, 1997); and the Cleveland Museum of Art (February 19-May 15, 1997), with essays by Cooper, Amy B. Werbel, Christina Currie, and Martin A. Berger. This catalogue presents an in-depth exploration of one of the great themes of one of the greatest American artists, offering valuable insight into his creative process. The rowing pictures, created in the early 1870s, are, in Cooper’s words, "at heart, about the strivings of the human spirit." The essays view this body of work in terms of Eakins’s biography, the unusually precise linear perspective, photomicrograph studies, and historical ideologies about manhood. In addition to a bibliography, a detailed provenance is provided of each work in the exhibition. Bookseller Inventory # 34675
