Art Students' League of Philadelphia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Art Students' League of Philadelphia Art Students' League of Philadelphia was a short-lived, co-operative art school formed in reaction to Thomas Eakins's February 1886 forced-resignation from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Eakins taught without pay at ASL from 1886 until the school's dissolution in early 1893.〔''Thomas Eakins Rediscovered'', p. 225.〕 ==Loincloth incident==
In early January 1886, Eakins, director of the art school at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, had a male model remove his loincloth during an anatomy lecture in front of either an all-female or a mixed male-and-female class of students.〔McKinney states that there were 2 nude models: one male, one female, and it was Eakins's "side by side ... comparison" that sparked the uproar. McKinney, p. 16.〕 This was contrary to PAFA policy, and Eakins was reprimanded by Director of Education Edward Hornor Coates in a January 11 letter. But the incident ignited controversy, including charges that Eakins had cavorted nude with his students, had manipulated them into posing nude for him or for each other, had photographed them nude, and that he did not possess the moral character to be a teacher at PAFA. Over the next month, Eakins's brother-in-law Frank Stephens became the most vituperative critic, accusing him of indecent behavior with his students and even incest with his deceased sister, Margaret Eakins.〔Adams, p. 60.〕 Stephens and his wife (Eakins's sister Caddy) were living with her father at 1729 Mount Vernon Street.〔''Writing About Eakins'', p. 73.〕 Eakins had married Susan Macdowell in January 1884, and they were living in his studio at 1330 Chestnut Street.〔Sellin, p. 17.〕 Interestingly, the surviving documentation contains no accusation of homosexual activity by Eakins. Although another brother-in-law, Will Crowell, raised the possibility that Stephens himself had engaged in homosexual activity, and suggested that the threat of exposure could be used to silence him, "if he is not stark mad."〔William Crowell to TE, 26 April 1886, quoted in McFeely, p. 130.〕
