Description
Leo Franklin Twiggs was born on February 13, 1934, in St. Stephen, South Carolina. Twiggs received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Claflin University in 1956; studied at the Art Institute of Chicago; and his Master of Arts degree from New York University in 1964. At NYU he studied with Hale Woodruff and Jason Seley.[3] In 1970, Twiggs became the first African American student to receive a Doctor of Education (Ed.D) from the University of Georgia, where he studied with Samuel Adler.[3][4] As a professor of art at South Carolina State University, he developed the Art Department and I.P. Stanback Museum. Twiggs was named professor emeritus in 2000. He was the first visual artist to receive the Verner Award (Governor’s Trophy) for outstanding contributions to the arts in South Carolina. A painting very similar to his sold in 2023 fo $2400 plus auction fees(which I attached in the photos at the end).This piece was also appraised in the late 90s at $5,000. His work doesn’t come up very often, especially ones like this. This piece is signed and dated bottom left. This particular painting is in rather nice condition with a few very small places of paint loss. It also has cracking throughout due to age. This piece measures 37 1/2" T X 36 3/4" W.
