Florida Highwaymen. Folk Artist Riley F Napier signed vintage wood carving owl sculpture
Riley F Napier was born on December 19, 1913. He died on February 10, 1989 at age 75. Napier was known for paintings and wood carvings and sold to the tourist trade in the post war era. The Florida Highwaymen Artists were the beginning of Florida's contemporary art tradition, and are credited for the beginning of the "Indian River School" art movement. They developed their own individual techniques and captured waterscapes, backcountry marshes, and inlets the way they were before recent tourism developments. From the beginning, there were people who collected Florida Highwayman art and paintings. However only in recent years has the recognition of their skill and their story caused their art to skyrocket in value. In 2004, twenty-six individuals were inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame as "Florida Highwaymen."
