Press says: "During the art-colony period, says Susan Larkin, Greenwich
was changing from a farming and fishing community to a prosperous suburb
of New York. The artists who gathered in Cos Cob produced work that reflects
the resulting tensions between tradition and modernity, nature and technology,
and country and city. The artists' preferred subjects-colonial architecture,
quiet landscapes, contemplative women-held a complex significance for them,
which Larkin explores. Drawing on maritime history, garden design, women's
studies, and more, she places the art colony in its cultural and historical
context and reveals unexpected depth in paintings of enormous popular appeal."
