Page "Thomas Eakins" Paragraph 7

: She female nude is the most beautiful thing there is in the world except a naked man, but I never yet saw a study of one exhibited ...

It would be a godsend to see a fine man model painted in the studio with the bare walls, alongside of the smiling smirking goddesses of waxy complexion amidst the delicious arsenic green trees and gentle wax flowers & purling streams running melodious up & down the hills especially up.

I hate affectation.
