Lamar Briggs Paintings

American, 1935-2015

Lamar Briggs was born in Lafayette, Louisiana. He attended University of Southern Louisiana, University of Houston and graduated from Colorado Institute of Art. Lamar’s work is internationally acclaimed, and he is known worldwide as a colorist inspired by music and nature. By 1972, Briggs started coming into his own as a proficient colorist and was invited to exhibit both solo and in group shows nationally and internationally; he has participated in more than 140 group and solo exhibitions. Briggs’s talents as an abstract artist have been applied to paintings, monotypes, watercolors, bronze sculpture, woodcuts and tapestry.

By Hilaire Hiler
Located in Denver, CO
This original vintage 1960 abstract painting by Hilaire Hiler (1898-1966) showcases the artist's structuralist style, created in the mid-20th century while Hiler was based in New Mexico.

The framed dimensions measure 15 ½ x 18 ¾ inches, with the image size measuring 14 x 17 ½ inches. About the Artist: Hilaire Hiler was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, where he began his art education at the Rhode Island School of Design.
