Ernest Higgins Rigg Portrait Paintings

British, 1868-1947

Ernest Higgins Rigg was born in Bradford and studied at the Bradford School of Art and then at the Académie Julian in Paris. He moved to Sussex in 1908, but returned to Yorkshire after the first World War, living in Shipley in 1918 and Richmond in 1919. His brothers, Alfred and Arthur, were artists. His work, almost exclusively in oils, is very concerned with light. It often appears veritably to bounce off the surface of objects in his pictures, but he explores all aspects of the phenomenon. He enjoyed including children in his compositions and sometimes veered towards sentimentality. He was a founder member of the Staithes Art Club and a lively member of the social group of artists in and around the village. He was elected a Council Member of the Yorkshire Union of Artists in 1899. His work is exhibited at the public galleries in Bradford, Sheffield and Whitby. He exhibited at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool, the Manchester Art Gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Yorkshire Union of Artists.

Gypsy girl, 1947. Oil on canvas, 34x37 cm
By Jadviga Zjilvinska
Located in Riga, LV
Jadviga Žilvinska (1918-2010) was born in Tallinn. She grew up in Liepāja, where her great interest in art began and strengthened, which led the young artist to study at the Art Academy of Latvia. During her studies at the Academy, she studied with K. Ubāns, V. Tone and J. Liepiņš, and defended her diploma thesis under the guidance of L. Liberts. Later on, she devoted her entire life to art, working at the Liepāja School of Fine Arts and as a portraitist at the "Māksla" combine. She had four favourite themes: landscapes, portraits, flowers and sacred painting. Her works have lyricism and inner harmony. In the portraits, we see not only the outer form of a person, but the artist allows us to look into the very essence of a person - it is likely that the models themselves often saw something new and bright in themselves through the artist's vision. The works are executed in various techniques - tempera, oil, pastel and watercolour. CV: 1938 - Graduated from the Liepaja Secondary School of Applied Arts, Department of Decorative Painting. 1943 - Latvian Academy of Art, L. Liberts Figurative Painting Workshop with her diploma work "At the Artist's" 1946-1948 - teacher of painting and drawing at Liepāja Fine Arts High School. 1948-1966 - portraitist at the "Māksla" combine Participated in exhibitions since 1948.
