Item Details
Description
Alfred Hair (American 1941-1970) Oil Painting on Masonite. The painting is depicting a gorgeous Florida scene of trees, bushes and birds surrounding a swamp. Measures - 22 3/4" high x 35" wide + 2 1/4" frame. Signed lower right corner. Alfred Hair, one of the original "Highway Men"; He shunned traditional methods and painted quick, brisk images of Florida’s tropical beauty in bright colors. There were no boundaries for these paintings and it left the paintings full of the artist’s emotions. Hair, not thinking of fame, inadvertently discovered what is known today as Highwaymen style painting. Hair would paint 8 to 20 paintings at a time. Even though the paintings employed the same color scheme each painting was a different scene and they were not carbon copies. Hair sold his paintings to various businesses door to door and from the trunk of his car, thus the name Highwaymen. Business was so good that Hair could not paint and sell fast enough so he employed salesmen some of which became Highwaymen artists themselves.
