Daniels, Willie (1950-2021) Florida Highwaymen Painting. Oil on Masonite - signed lower right. Trowel thick palette knife upon a field of brushwork. Perhaps the most densely incised contemporary rendering by Willie Daniels to come to market. Broadly chiseled flora and fauna in a bold choice of browns and greens by some means explode in high relief beyond a fiery golden sky. The interpretive use of indigo and burnt orange create an unexpected play in the eye seen only in the works of Backus and Hutchinson. Perhaps one of the top 5 finest publicly offered. Board measures 24x36 framed to overall size of 28x40. African American Highwaymen Folk Art, evolved from the Backus Indian River School Art Colony. Condition: Very Fine
