Art historian Susan Larkin was the curator of the exhibition American Impressionism: The Beauty of Work at the Bruce Museum (2005), and author of the catalogue. Her publications include The Cos Cob Art Colony: Impressionists on the Connecticut Shore (2001) and, with H.

A catalogue essayist in 2004 for the Hassam exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dr. Larkin received her Ph.D. from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
