Guy Carleton Wiggins (1883 - 1962) — American Art Online
Guy Carleton Wiggins was an American artist known for his impressionistic winter landscapes, particularly those of New York City.
Wiggins began his artistic training at a young age and went on to study at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League in New York City. He also studied in Europe, particularly in France, where he was heavily influenced by the Impressionist movement.
Wiggins is best known for his snowscapes, which often depict New York City streets, parks, and landmarks covered in snow. He used a technique of laying thick, impasto paint on the canvas, creating a sense of depth and texture in his paintings.
Wiggins was a prolific artist, producing over 3,000 works during his lifetime. He was a member of several art organizations, including the Salmagundi Club, the National Academy of Design, and the American Watercolor Society.
Today, his paintings can be found in numerous private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the White House.
