Artists such as Thomas Eakins, Kenyon Cox, Frank Vincent DuMond, Robert Henri, Dennis Miller Bunker and more transformed American Art education when they returned from Parisian ateliers and taught how to draw the forms of the human body with more accuracy and precision at The Pennsylvania Academy of Art, National Academy of Design, Art Students League, and Boston schools. This fostered the golden age of American illustration during which time Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, Howard Pyle, N.C. Wyeth and others revolutionized American visual culture. These same principles informed the drawings of models at the Fenimore Museum’s past exhibition Drawn from Life: Three Generation of Wyeth Figure Studies. REGISTRATION or QUESTIONS?
