In The Color of Stone, Charmaine A. Nelson brilliantly analyzes a key, but often neglected, aspect of neoclassical sculptureÑcolor. Considering three major worksÑHiram PowersÕs Greek Slave, William Wetmore StoryÕs Cleopatra, and Edmonia LewisÕs Death of CleopatraÑshe explores the intersection of race, sex, and class to reveal the meanings each work holds in terms of colonial histories of visual representation.
