Referred to as "the dean of Philadelphia painters," Larry Day (1921-1998) was a dominant force in American art from the 1950s through the 1990s, as well as a dynamic teacher and mentory. Body Language is the first full catalog devoted to the breadth and range of his work.

Focusing on the aesthetic concerns of the two most important sculptors of the early 19th century, the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822) and his Danish rival Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844), this book considers: the aesthetic autonomy of works of art, the gender of the subject, and the efficacy of marble as an imitative medium.

This is a study of the 18th-century sculptor Louis Francois Roubiliac. His most important work takes the form of monuments seen in Westminster Abbey and in churches throughout the country. The book examines his style in the light of the social and religious conditions of his time.

'Race' was essentially a construction of the 18th century, a means by which the Enlightenment could impose rational order on human variety. This title argues that ideas of beauty were from the beginning inseparable from race, as Europeans judged the civility and aesthetic capacity of other races by their appearance.
