Notes: "Clock Tower, Harkness Memorial, New Haven, CT", validates Guy C. Wiggins as an important American Impressionist. This painting gives a look at Wiggins the painter rather then a potboiler of New York street scenes which later in his career he hated. In Clock Tower... Wiggins shows energy and emotion with his powerful broken brush strokes. This painting can easily stand up to works by most of the American impressionists of the period.
