A Revolution in Color: The World of John Singleton Copley

byJane Kamensky

Focused on the World of John Singleton Copley, A Revolution in Color brings Jane Kamensky's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of biography & autobiography. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
