Mid 20th. Century African American Art.... (Part-A)

by albert hudson on 10/10/13

In the 1950s and 1960s, few African-American artists were widely

known or accepted. Despite this, The Highwaymen, a loose associa-

tion of 26 African-American artists from Ft. Pierce, Florida, created

idyllie, quickly realized images of the Florida landscape and peddled

some 200,000 of them from the trunks of their cars. In the 1950s

and 1960s, it was impossible to fine galleries interested in selling art-

works by a group of unknown, self-taught African Americans, so

they sold their art directly to the public rather than through galleries

and art agents. Rediscovered in the mid-1990s, today they are re-

cognized as an important part of American folk history.
