Biography

Suzanne M. Singletary is Associate Professor of Art and Architectural History at Philadelphia University. She has published on Eugène Delacroix, French Symbolism, and Francesco Goya, and contributed essays to Impressionist Interiors (2008), Perspectives on Manet (2012) and Rival Sisters (2014).
