Ernest Briggs

Overview

Ernest Briggs was born in 1923 in San Francisco and began his career as an artist in the 1940s. His work was deeply influenced by the landscape of his home state of California, as well as by the Abstract Expressionist movement that was taking shape in New York City during the same period. In the 1950s, Briggs' work began to receive critical acclaim, and he was included in several important exhibitions, including the Whitney Annual and the Carnegie International. Today, his work can be found in the collections of major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
