My series on new works of American graphic art in the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection continues this week with a sepia monotype from Social Realist Eugene Higgins, a Missouri-born painter and printmaker known for his keenly-observed scenes of the marginalized in society. A monotype is a single image printed from an ink drawing on a plate. Higgins has used a cloth or brush to good effect in this impressionistic noctural scene of the homeless, huddled together in a public square, creating strong, chiaroscuro effects with broad, swirling applications of ink. Dark, half-formed figures stand out against the whitened walls of what appears to be a grand church facade in this grim visual commentary on those for whom there is never any room in the inn. This new print joins others on similar themes in the gallery of the Eugene Higgins profile page in the Sacred Artists section. (John Kohan)
