"This ambitious, 35mm, color and B & W study
of the famous American artist, ThomasEAKINS, is a refreshing and startling
change from most art films dealing with the life and work of painters...The
film never labors its points by excessive commentary or pretentious interpretations.
It has a living human quality about it; a biographical study touching deeply
on the complex nature of the man's life and work...every art gallery should
have a print and ETV should welcome it." Gerald Pratley, Director,
Ontario Film Institute from a review in VARIETY
