1939 VINTAGE PRINT Painting The Thinker Thomas Eakins American School Plate

Description: Vintage Print: "The Thinker" by Thomas Eakins Source: World Famous Paintings, published in 1939 Image description Title: "Thomas Eakins has been termed "a painter's painter." This is a tribute to his mastery of those technical problems in painting which are basic to the craft, and an assertion, implied, that few outside the craft will like his work. Let us, at any rate, concede his mastery. Basic to "realism" is the representation of form-men, mountains, tree trunks, tables, things-as having volume, weight, and substance. To the two-dimensional plane of the canvas must be added the illusion of that third dimension which all matter has. We term it what the Bible calls it, form. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And God said, "Let there be light": and there was light. And by that light, day after day, did form reveal itself. So does the master-painter, out of the chaos and darkness of his pigments, create the illusion of a world. And of these master-painters, Eakins, was one. What, having made his figures live and move and have their being, Eakins does with them is another matter and probably at the root of the continued popular neglect of his work. And yet may be that posterity will find the factual commonplaceness of his people to be an added reason to respect and love his paintings."
