Highwayman R.L. Lewis art Show, Saturday, October 25th at Stewart Jewelry Robert L. Lewis is one of the quietly creative and versatile figures of a Florida Landscape Artist tradition that has become known as THE HIGHWAYMEN. The Highwaymen Artists were the beginning of Florida’s contemporary art tradition. Their individual styles depict Florida’s natural beauty.

It all started in the 50s when a small number of African Americans dedicated their talents and livelihoods to painting the Florida landscape. With the friendship and encouragement from local landscape artist A. E. “Bean” Backus, these young Fort Pierce artists developed their individual techniques and rendered waterscapes, backcountry marshes, and inlets with a raw beauty and mystique, which became well-known vintage Floridian images. From the beginning, there were people who collected their paintings. Later, their artwork became noted for introducing the Indian River School and the Backus School movements and the Ft. Pierce artists became known to the public as the Florida Highwaymen. This group of African-American artists supported their families by selling their artwork along the highways of Florida, largely from the trunk of their cars.

The dream of this group of artists is to preserve the history of their lives and to give back to the communities from which they came from. Through examples of their hardwork, they strive to teach the youth not only to become consumers, but become entrepreneurs and productive citizens within their communities.

The showing will be on Saturday, October 25 from 10am to 4 pm at Stewart Jewelry, 2212 Edgewater Drive, Orlando, FL 32804. Call 407-425-1496 for more information! Click here to see flyer about the show!
