Copley and West in England 1775–1815 By Allen Staley This beautifully and thoroughly illustrated book will be of considerable interest to both British and American art historians. The book begins with a brief prologue discussing the earliest of West's depictions of recent historical events and of subjects set in America, painted prior to Copley's arrival in England. It then follows the year-byyear evolution of Copley's painting from 1775 to his death in 1815, with an underlying focus upon his ongoing give-and-take with West, and it ends with examination of hitherto little-known and unstudied major late paintings, from after 1800, by both artists.

Persevere and Resist The Strong Black Women of Elizabeth Catlett
By Heather Nickels This welcome catalogue presents exciting new scholarship on the work of Mexican and American artist Elizabeth Catlett (1915–2012).
