Victor Higgins 1884–1949

“H is great landscapes pay homage to the grandeur of the Taos mountains and to the dramatic moods of ever-changing skies, and he painted with devotion such lovely things as a circular track left by a wagon that has turned full ‘round in the fresh snow of early winter. Whether Higgins was painting white on white or opening his palette to the full spectrum of color he showed himself a master at transposing the overwhelming subjects of the Southwest into paintings of distinction.”
