Title:	Evening and Horseman
Artist:	Higgins, Eugene (Kansas City, 1874 - New York City, 1958)
Date:	c. 1920
Medium:	Original Drypoint Engraving and Etching
Note:	Eugene Higgins: A leading American painter and etcher of the early twentieth century. Eugene Higgins was mainly self-taught in the arts. He spent most of his youth in St. Louis in a poor neighborhood, drawing figures and scenes in his environment. His father, a stonecutter, introduced him to the art of Michelangelo and other Renaissance masters. Higgins was also deeply influenced by reproductions in books and magazines of the art of Millet.
	Around 1908 Eugene Higgins traveled to Paris and studied at both the Academie Julian and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. It was here that he first practiced the arts of etching, engraving and the monotype. Several years later he returned to America and was recognized as a leading printmaker. A one man exhibition of his graphic art took place at the prestigious Corcoran Gallery, Washington, in 1912.
	Eugene Higgins was a full member of the National Academy of Design, the League of American Artists, the National Arts Club, the American Water Color Society and the Brooklyn Society of Etchers. During his career his paintings and etchings were exhibited at such major institutions as the National Academy of Design, the Carnegie Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Institute of Chicago. Today collections of his etchings and monotypes are found in the British Museum, London, the Congressional Library, Washington, DC, the New York Public Library and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
	Higgins's great art deals with the lives of the less fortunate. His both powerful and poetic imagery of the poor forms a special place in the history of early twentieth century American art. Like most of his famous works, Evening and Horseman is both simple and monumental.
