YOUSAF KARSH PABLO PICASO 1954 S. (H x W): 24×30 Inch. New York Private Collection, Lovisco Gallery Label Verso. Biography from the Archives of askART. Following is the AskART Glossary definition of Highwaymen, which included Alfred Hair. A group of young African-American landscape and skyscape painters, these artists painted their way out of the despair awaiting them as workers in Florida citrus groves and packing houses of the 1950s. Original members were James Gibson, Alfred Hair, Harold Newton and Livingston Roberts. The only female member was Mary Ann Carroll. The Highwaymen created hybrid versions of his style, and their work is sometimes characterized as motel art. In succeeding decades, however, Highwaymen paintings were consigned to attics and garage sales. Their work has been rediscovered in the mid 1990’s, and today is recognized as the work of American folk artists. Painting with Poinciana and 3 Black Figures. Poinciana Tree by the River.
