How did Muybridge's work influence painters like Thomas Eakins? Choose all answers that are correct. A. Eakins painted directly onto photographs to make paintings. B. Eakins used photographs as a teaching tool with students. C. Eakins traced subjects in photographs to make some paintings. D. Eakins used photographs to study the human body and the phases of action.
The answer A is the only wrong one, because Eakins used to trace photographs by projecting them on the canvas (C), but never painted directly on them (A). It was also known that he relied on photographs for reference (B and D).
