Man Made: Thomas Eakins and the Construction of Gilded Age Manhood Book

I quite enjoyed this book. I know virtually nothing about painting or sculpture but found this book to be quite interesting. I read the Blast! collection by Alexander Berkman a month or so back and this was a neat book to read soon after because they discuss different but overlapping aspects of the anarchist movement in north america during WWI. Antliff knows his anarchism and writes convincingly of the impact of anarchism on art in the USA. Also, of related interest, I appreciated and was intrigued by the overlap with the Modern School movement. Good stuff. This is Antliff's "academic" book. I assume most readers would prefer Antliff's other title "Anarchy and Art" because its topic is broader and the book more affordable.
