Dos alumnas con túnicas griegas

Thomas Eakins American
1883
Not on view
Para Thomas Eakins, la fotografía era un recurso para aumentar el naturalismo de sus pinturas. Utilizó a sus alumnos de la Academia de Bellas Artes de Pennsylvania como modelos para sus estudios del cuerpo humano, y compiló un extenso catálogo fotográfico. Esta fotografía, impresa en una gran hoja de papel recubierta de platino, es un estudio de poses y gestualidad; las posturas de las modelos son un eco deliberado de las figuras en el relieve escultórico Arcadia (ejecutado por Eakins en 1883), colocado sobre la mesa bajo dos paletas de pintor que cuelgan de la pared.
