Highwaymen Art​

About the Florida Highwaymen

According to Wikipedia,  “The Highwaymen, also referred to as the Florida Highwaymen, are a group of 26 African American landscape artists in Florida. Self-taught and self-mentoring, they created a body of work of over 200,000 paintings, despite facing many racial and cultural barriers”.

Mostly from Fort Pierce and Gifford areas, they painted landscapes and made a living selling them door-to-door to businesses and individuals throughout Florida from the mid-1950s through the 1980s. They also peddled their work from the trunks of their cars along the eastern coastal roads (A1A and US 1).  Today, the Highwaymen are recognized worldwide as an important part of American folk history.
