Choosing the city’s world-famous surgeon and teacher Dr. Samuel Gross as his subject, Eakins sets the scene in Jefferson Medical College’s surgical amphitheater. Dr. Gross is shown leading a clinic of five doctors operating on the left thigh of a patient. At the same time Gross is demonstrating to students the relatively new surgical procedure he had developed to treat bone infections. In contrast to the recoiling woman to the left—traditionally identified as the patient’s mother—Gross embodies the confidence that comes from knowledge and experience. Casting himself as a witness, Eakins can be seen seated to the right of the tunnel railing, sketching or writing.

The artist’s plan to promote himself and the city of Philadelphia faltered, however, when the fair’s art jury rejected The Gross Clinic, perhaps deeming the subject too bloody and brutal for display in the art building. The subject shocked viewers unused to seeing such a frightening event depicted in such realistic detail. Bright red blood colors the surgeon’s fingers and scalpel, and the gaping incision is fascinating, repulsive, and confusing because it is so hard to read the position of the patient’s body. Although some viewers admired Eakins’s command of composition, color, and detail, and praised his convincing creation of form and space, many were repelled by what was considered ugly and inartistic realism.

Not "Gross" Like Disgusting...Well...

Sarah, art history, ventures to the Philadelphia Museum of Art where she shares the variety of artwork that lives there. Highlighting 'The Gross Clinic' by Thomas Eakins, Sarah dives deep into the artwork. #MarywoodArt #PhiladelphiaMuseumofArt #ArtHistory

Over fall break I had the incredible opportunity to visit my friend who lives in Philadelphia and of course you know what I did. If you’re reading an art blog and you DON’T know where I went, I am surprised (but welcome you anyway). After going up the Rocky Stairs (at a walking pace, with no shadow boxing) I entered one of the number one museums on my “To Visit This Year” list, The Philadelphia…

Parodies of The Gross Clinic

[sloppysequinz]

Just opened an insurance claim summary and discovered that some medical professional decided that they needed to put “MORBID (SEVERE) OBESITY DUE TO EXCESS CALORIES” front and center as a diagnosis and now I feel like shit 🙃✌🏻

#that was NOT what the claim was about it was for a surgery to remove a skin growth #but somebody decided I also needed to be marked down as FAT GROSS FUCK FROM EATING TOO MUCH #right next to the problem I was ACTUALLY getting treated for #at no point did I talk to my doctor or anyone on my surgery team about my weight #like I know. I know I’m in the obese BMI category and I normally don’t care because I think it’s bullshit #but to have them so clinically there seems cruel and hurtful #ALSO FUCK YOU YOU DONT KNOW WHAT MY OBESITY IS DUE TO #I’ve been in that category pretty much my whole life no matter what I ate #this is what gives women like me eating disorders #delete later

I hope if we ever get more Jocasta content that Justin leans in more to the celestial themes of it all, obviously what with the last name "Nightstrider", but also because in most of the sources I checked the name Jocasta means "shining moon", and in fact one of Jupiter's moons is named Iocasta (an alternate spelling of Jocasta) (also I found this out after I already painted him with Jupiter! I was drawing it based off the song but this was a nice Treat for Me), and also because his cloak's a shimmery purple that I think could easily work as a night sky+ stars motif :] I just think it's neat :]

#also. this is more headcanony so I'm keeping it out of the main post. but also I've been thinking about transfem Jocasta a lot #and the name Jocasta is a traditionally feminine name #and like. hear me out #the body image issues and dislike of the term 'Man' and social pressure to be someone he's not and clinical depression over his identity #that starts healing when wearing different clothes and changing their voice and picking a new 'traditionally feminine' name #like. you can see where I'm picking this up from right. I'm not going crazy right like. the subtext is definitely fuckin there right #jocasta nightstrider #taz #the zone of adventure imbalance #the adventure zone imbalance #taz imbalance #the zone of adventure #jocasta taz #taz Jocasta #and it kinda feels gross to deadname them but it's the only name people really recognize them by so. sorry Jo #taako #taako taaco #taako taz #taz Taako
