First look at the Highwaymen documentary series and a discussion with the producers
[Roundtable] Attend a first viewing of the documentary series American Originals: The Story of the Highwaymen, and hear from the director and producers about honoring the works and legacy of a group of self-taught Black landscape artists in 1960s Florida. They captured the pristine scenic coastlines and cypress backcountry of an undeveloped Florida in their Impressionist style paintings, selling the works from their cars along U.S. Highway 1. We will discuss the importance of curation, reviews, and representation for self-taught artists, and how the documentary series will honor the artists and celebrate their proper place in art history.
