Story of the Highwaymen"
About this Event
Attend a first viewing of the documentary series American Originals: The Story of the Highwaymen, and hear from the director and producers about honoring the works and legacy of a group of self-taught Black landscape artists in 1960s Florida. They captured the pristine scenic coastlines and cypress backcountry of an undeveloped Florida in their Impressionist style paintings, selling the works from their cars along U.S. Highway 1.
Following the screening is a discussion on the importance of curation, reviews, and representation for self-taught artists, and how the documentary series honors the artists and celebrates their proper place in art history.
