Painted around his native Philadelphia, these images of contemplative rowers, moody boxers, and euphoric swimmers have rarely been shown on the West Coast. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art came into possession of one of Eakins&amp;#039;s great wrestling paintings; to celebrate, it has brought together his sport-related oils\u2014including the 1871 pastoral The Champion Single (left)\u2014as well as the master&amp;#039;s watercolors, sketches, and early experiments photographing the human form. &amp;quot;Manly Pursuits: The Sporting Images of Thomas Eakins,&amp;quot; July 25\u2013October 17; lacma.org.
