Victor Higgins Sold at Auction Prices

Landscape painter, Genre Painter, Painter, b. 1884 - d. 1949

Artist Victor Higgins was an American painter of still life, figural motifs, and particularly landscapes, largely in oils or watercolors on canvas. In 1914, he embarked on a painting trip to Taos, New Mexico. This is where many of Victor Higgins' paintings are set, and Higgins essentially fathered the Taos art colony that exists to this day.

His paintings reflect the pastel and earthen tonality of the New Mexico environment, and he always continued to experiment stylistically. As an artist, Victor Higgins essentially began as an academic realist but shifted to myth- and fantasy-based modernism, and then to abstraction. Victor Higgins' artwork for sale may be rendered in a soft Impressionist style or a more angular Cubist style. Expand your collection with some of the many striking landscape paintings on offer at galleries and auctions.

        Victor Higgins (1884 - 1949) American

        Est: $2,500 - $3,500

        Victor Higgins (1884 - 1949) Oil on wood panel, signed lower left, measures 9.5 x 12.5 and 17 x 21 inches w/ frame.A key member of the Taos, New Mexico Society of Artists, Victor Higgins seemed much more influenced by modernist, abstract art than the other members although much of his work seemed realistic. From 1920, he was combining Impressionism with Cubism and painting mostly landscapes reduced to basic shapes, giving a sense of visual rhythm and showing geometric relationships of form and design.He was a native of a farming community in Indiana who was inspired towards art by an itinerant sign painter. He studied briefly at the Art Institute of Chicago, having left home for Chicago at the age of 15 and studying with E. Martin Hennings and Walter Ufer. For four years, he traveled in Europe and studied in Munich, and in 1912 returned to Chicago where an exhibition of his work at the Palette and Chisel Club earned him national attention and the esteemed Gold Medal.
