3) Highwaymen - Stuart

Who were the Florida Highwaymen?

In the 1950s, several African-American self-taught artists from the Treasure Coast began painting Florida’s vivid landscapes. Coined as the “Highwaymen,” they sold their art out of their car trunks as they traveled the highways, which led to their nickname. Highwaymen paintings now hang in the Smithsonian, and several Highwaymen artists are represented in the Florida Artists Hall of Fame. Many of their paintings — which are now sought after by collectors worldwide — still do exist and 70 of them are on display at The Elliott Museum in Stuart Oct. 20 - Feb. 24.

”I don’t have to explain myself. Either you get it or you don’t. This is a very — how does this happen. A Hollywood screenwriter couldn’t make this up — what happened. This group of people getting together, producing artwork and taking that different path. They didn’t want to stay in that orange grove. Picking that fruit,” Roger Lightle, Highwaymen Art Specialists, Inc. owner.
