Join the New Smyrna Museum of History and the Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum as we celebrate the work of The Florida Highwaymen Painters with Gary Monroe, a celebrated documentary photographer and author with a long-time interest in “outsider” and vernacular art. A small gallery show of historic Highwaymen paintings will accompany this presentation.
Gary Monroe has been the primary voice about the Highwaymen since 2001, when the University Press of Florida released his book, The Highwaymen: Florida’s African-American Landscape Painters. His writings and talks set the stage for appreciation of their art and its meanings. The Highwaymen’s story is ultimately one of transcendence; their artworks are imbued with what great art realizes–a sense of grace.
Gary Monroe’s PowerPoint-assisted Highwaymen talk about the Highwaymen is engaging, entertaining, and factual.
