Did you know one of the early members of the Taos Society of Artists was a Hoosier? Victor Higgins, born in Shelbyville, Indiana, began his artistic journey right here in the Midwest. At just 15, he left Indiana for Chicago to pursue his dream of becoming a painter, a journey that would eventually take him to Europe and then to the sweeping landscapes of Taos, New Mexico. The Eiteljorg is proud to include work by this influential Indiana-born artist in our collection. Higgins' legacy blends Midwestern determination with the bold colors and light of the Southwest, bridging regional roots with national impact. His landscapes and still lifes continue to inspire and remind us of the talent that’s come from right here in Indiana.
