Backus, was a prominent American landscape artist renowned for his depictions of the lush and vibrant Florida landscape. His masterful use of color and light brought the natural beauty of Florida to life on canvas. Notably, Backus played a pivotal role in the Highwaymen movement, which was a collective of African American artists who painted Florida's landscapes during a time when segregation limited their opportunities. Backus mentored many of these artists, helping them gain recognition for their talents and contributions to American art.
