Charles Willson Peale: Art and Selfhood in the Early Republic Hardcover - 2004
by David C. Ward
From the rear cover
"At last, Charles Willson Peale is revealed, compleat and complex: as the familiar and essential artist and scientist, to be sure, but also as the patriot, parent, publicist, and more. David Ward's astute examination of this unique polymath introduces unexpected aspects of the man and, in so doing, sheds new light on the genius of the American Enlightenment. A masterly portrait, and an interpretive tour de force."--Charles C. Eldredge, author of Tales from the Easel: American Narrative Paintings
"This is an invaluable critical study of Charles Willson Peale--clear, erudite, and imaginative. Ward shows what went wrong as well as right in Peale's lifelong attempts at self-fashioning, giving us a richer picture than ever before of this restless American figure."--Alexander Nemerov, author of The Body of Raphaelle Peale: Still Life and Selfhood, 1812-1824
"One of the hallmarks of public life after the Revolution was the desire of notable Americans to fashion their own enduring reputations. This exquisite book lucidly and compellingly investigates how Charles Willson Peale expressed and controlled his image--in his ostensibly private autobiographical writing as well as in public forums such as self-portraiture and the production of spectacles and events. David C. Ward reassembles the visual and verbal conversations Peale conducted with and within himself over the course of five decades, and in doing so takes us on a remarkable journey through the labyrinth of a major artist's evolving self-consciousness during the early Republic."--Paul Staiti, Professor of Fine Arts on the Alumnae Foundation, Mount Holyoke College
