Two books are being written... and hopefully will be published soon... on our favorite artist. Dorinda Evans has just finished the first draft of her book on Gilbert Stuart, and another is being written by Jane Kamensky, Professor of History, Brandeis University. "Kamensky will begin a new project on the life and times of the artist Gilbert Stuart, a New England-born provincial who became the early republic’s most renowned celebrity portraitist. Connecting Stuart to the visual cultures of the seven Atlantic cities in which he studied and worked, the book will explore the relationships among art, nation, and commerce in the early nineteenth century.
