Guy C Wiggins Painting Snow Storm on the Avenue Snow Storm on the Avenue" Signed and Titled Verso; Guy C. Wiggins. Prov. Lagokos - Turak. Galley Label, Philadelphia PA. An exquisite depiction of New York City during a snowstorm, red, brown and sand-colored buildings are realistically visible through the pelting snow. Vehicles and pedestrians, alike, struggle to make their way up the avenue in the face of the storm. Guy Carleton Wiggins (1883-1962) was born in Lyme, Conn., and was educated there at his father's (John Carleton Wiggins) art school. Before he settled on a career as a painter, the younger Wiggins worked with the Foreign Service. He would paint local scenes wherever he was posted. After taking an early retirement from the job, Wiggins entered the Art Students League in New York, followed by a course of study in the artist's colony of Old Lyme. Wiggins is best known for his Impressionist paintings of New York in the snow and for his Connecticut landscapes. O/B. 12" x 16". (Fine).
