Eugene Higgins (1874-1958) American Etching
Etching by Eugene Higgins titled “In The Park”. Born in Missouri, Higgins became a
painter and printmaker much in the tradition of Millet and Daumier. He was essentially a
figure painter and expressed his humanitarian side with portrayals of the poor and
downtrodden, such as flood victims, refugees, dirt farmers, the shipwrecked and other
unfortunate people. He studied in Paris, where he earned money by honing his skills as
an etcher. He was influenced by Rembrandt, and during the Depression he created
murals for post offices in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Tennessee.
