About the Item

A native of Providence, Rhode Island, John Costigan was a skilled landscape and figure painter who disdained portraits. He was orphaned and raised in New York by his aunt and uncle, the parents of songwriter, George M. Cohan. Mainly self-taught, Costigan studied briefly at the Art Students League and worked as a lithographer of theater posters. He began making his name in the Fine arts in 1920, and throughout the decade, reaped numerous important prizes for work.
In the late 1960s, he enjoyed a revival of interest in his Fine arts talents when more than 50 pieces were borrowed from museums and private collections to be toured nationally in a Smithsonian-sponsored Costigan retrospective.
