Born and raised in southern California, Ernest Briggs studied with the New York School painters Clyfford Still, Mark Rothko and Ad Reinhardt at the San Francisco Art Institute from 1946 to 1951. In 1953 Briggs arrived in New York. In 1954 and 1955 he had solo shows at the Stable Gallery, one of New York's leading venues for avant-garde art in the 1950s and 1960s. He was included in the Whitney Annuals in 1955, 1956 and 1961, and in 1956 was included in the Museum of Modern Art's influential 12 Americans exhibition. From 1961 until his death in 1984, Briggs taught painting at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. |
