Howard Leigh: A fine American painter,
etcher and lithographer, Howard Leigh studied art at Earlham College,
Richmond, Indiana, under John Albert Seaford. He graduated from Earlham
in 1918 and then established a studio in Paris, France, for the following
three years. There he both finished his studies at the Ecole des Beaux
Arts and worked upon a commissioned series of lithographs of European
buildings damaged during the First World War. This large and impressive
lithograph of the fountain at Carmona, Spain, was created by Howard Leigh during
this time. |

Howard Leigh returned to the United States
shortly after 1921 but continued to show his art in France. In 1927 his
art won for him an Honourable Mention at the Paris Salon. Living mainly
in Chicago, Howard Leigh exhibited his art extensively in the United States throughout
the 1920's and 1930's. |

In 1938, Howard Leigh moved to Mexico where
he lived and worked until his death in 1981. Today the graphic art of
Howard Leigh is included in the following public collections; the Musee
de la Guerre, Paris, the New York Public Library, the Art Institute of
Chicago, the Boston Public Library and the Smithsonian Institute. Recently
Earlham College launched a large retrospective of his art. |
