After graduating from Round Rock High School around 1926,* Eugene Edward Loving arrived in New Orleans – drawn to the bohemian life and artistic scene that thrived in the French Quarter. Loving worked in the print mediums of etchings and serographs (silk screenings). He was active in the New Orleans art world and was a member of the New Orleans Arts and Crafts Club. His favorite subject was French Quarter architecture.  Loving mainly sold his etchings from French Quarter galleries for $15 each. His work is widely available for sale today on various online auctions and marketplaces.

Born in 1908, he was the son of Hattie Wilson Broadway and Samuel E. Loving.  Loving’s half-brother was Vander Clyde Broadway, better known as Barbette. They grew up on Anderson Ave., in Round Rock – commonly referred to as the “Flats.”

*Loving was a member of the 1925 Dragon football team. It is likely that he graduated from Round Rock High School in 1926 at the age of 18, although no graduation records exist to confirm.
