...period from about 1763 to 1767 Copley developed a heavier impasto and a freer abbreviated brush stroke which is highly reminiscent of the late portraiture of Frans Hals. By 1765, Copley finally had his technique under control; his work became more straightforward and simple as if clearing away the unnecessary baggage in preparation for a new excursion...
...paintings from Copley's early years in England are perhaps his best. Building on the skill that emerged during his last years in America, his brush became even freer, the paint more heavily modelled, and the stroke stronger and more concise. In the beginning he occupied himself as a portraitist to support his family and get himself established. But soon he had an opportunity to embark on a career as a painter of historical scenes when he was commissioned to paint well known Watson an the Shark. That work was followed by the Death of the Earl of Chatham...
...saying that we must "support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation . . ." Agreed-but note that very important word "free."

He was just a dog, a 15-month-old pointer"), and he took an ad to thank the mayor for removing a sign that had been posted near his gate. In a tartly...
Imitation Behind the Curtain. While the U.S. has been accepting the idea of more and more Government intervention within the bounds of private enterprise, many other nations are drifting away from strong central controls over their economies and opting for the freer American system. Britain's ruling Labor Party has become practically bourgeois, and this year scrapped almost all notions of nationalizing industry; West Germany's Socialists have long since done the same in an effort?so far unsuccessful?to wrest power from the free-enterprising Christian Democrats; and traditionally Socialist Norway in 1965 voted a conservative government into power...
