Hair" lower right, presented in a wood frame, H.- 24 in., W.- 36 in., Framed- H.-27 in., W.- 39 in. Note: Alfred Hair was the star of The Florida Highwaymen, a collective of African American artists who painted vibrant landscapes of their home state. “In the 1950s and ’60s the artists produced an astonishing amount of works that they hocked along the roads and highways of Florida. More importantly, they did so at a time and place where opportunities for black people were extremely limited. The Highwaymen paved their own way.” – Hurd, Gordon, “Alfred Hair, Whose Collective Created a Path for Black Artists,” The New York Times, Feb. 1, 2019, www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/obituaries/alfred-hair-overlooked.html.
