At last, we have a modern art history of the most gifted, significant, and influential artist of the Federal period... The book pulls a universally admired artist out of the shadows and should be the authoritative source for the future. -- Paul Staiti, Mount Holyoke College
Dorinda Evans is Associate Professor of Art History at Emory University. She is the author of Mather Brown: Early American Artist in England and Benjamin West and His American Students.
Ms. Evans follows Stuart's career, commenting simply and sensibly on possible influences and the development of his increasingly subtle technique... Perhaps the most notable point about Stuart is his ambition, in which he succeeded, to convey the sitter's blood and breath and spiritual animation through the motionless surface of paint and canvas. -- Phoebe-Lou Adams The Atlantic Monthly
