How did Eakins' scandals impact his career?
They did not affect his career
They enhanced his fame
They boosted his sales
They truncated his success and challenged his reputation
Answer
The scandals truncated Eakins' success and challenged his reputation. He lost several prominent positions, including his post as director of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and he was unable to secure a teaching position at any major American art school. This greatly limited his opportunities to exhibit and sell his work, and his career never fully recovered.
