"Swimming Hole' - Thomas Eakins




Eakins' 1884 'Swimming Hole,' strangely similar to the then new stroboscopic photography of people in motion that Eakins was also playing with at the time -- witness for example 'Double Jump' of 1885 (scroll down the page a little to find it).

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
