William H. Gerdts, Keynote Speaker
William H. Gerdts is Professor Emeritus of Art History at the Graduate School of the City University of New York. A leading authority on American Impressionism, Dr. Gerdts has written extensively on that topic as well as many others spanning the history and breadth of American art. His publications focusing on aspects of American Impressionism include American Impressionism (1984), revised and expanded edition 2001; Monet's Giverny: An Impressionist Colony (1993); Impressionist New York (1994); California Impressionism (1998), Joseph Raphael (2003); The Golden Age of American Impressionism (2003); Colin Campbell Cooper: An American Impressionist in Context (with Deborah Solon) (2006). In his keynote presentation, Dr. Gerdts will place the movement in its historic context as a dominant approach to painting in the late 19th century that evolved in various directions.

Susan Larkin, Childe Hassam
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. Barbara Weinberg, American Impressionists Abroad and at Home: Paintings from the Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2001). 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. In her lecture, she will examine the work of Childe Hassam in Connecticut between 1896 and 1918, the dates of his first and last visits to Cos Cob, analyzing his subjects and their relationship to the works he created elsewhere.

Nancy Mowll Mathews, Maurice Prendergast
Nancy Mowll Mathews is the Eugenie Prendergast Senior Curator of 19th and 20th Century Art at Williams College Museum of Art. Author of the catalogue raisonné on Maurice Prendergast, Dr. Mathews is currently conducting research on Prendergast's work in Venice in preparation for a forthcoming exhibition; her presentation at Doyle is her first public lecture in New York relating to this project. In her talk, Dr. Mathews will discuss the work created by Maurice Prendergast over the course of two trips to Venice separated by a span of several years, as contrasted to the park scenes he painted in the area surrounding Boston, such as Sunday in the Park.

Valerie Ann Leeds, The Ashcan School
Valerie Ann Leeds is Adjunct Curator at the Flint Institute of Arts, Michigan. A curator, art writer and editor, she has organized exhibitions, lectured and authored numerous publications in the field of 19th and 20th century American art.
