    At PAFA, the legacy of the grandfather of American Portraiture, Thomas Eakins, is tied directly into PAFA's understanding of itself as an institution of American Art. Dr. Akela Reason of Georgia State University shares her recent research and book on this Philadelphia icon, Thomas Eakins and the Uses of History, which will be released in January 2010 by the University of Pennsylvania Press.
