Artist

Houghton

Houghton is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This English artist hid in plain sight, painting grand scenes while signing them with a tiny "Houghton" in the corner—like a punchline only he got. He spent years on "The Return of Hiawatha," a watercolor so detailed you’d think he’d visited the woods himself, though he probably never left London. Look for the tiny beaver in the corner; it’s the artist’s inside joke.
