Clear Day on the River by Alfred Hair Painting Auction
Take a journey into Florida’s natural beauty and enjoy the timeless landscape depicted in this original painting, “Clear Day on the River,” created by the Florida Highwaymen artist, Alfred Hair.
About the Artist: Born May 20, 1941 in Fort Pierce, Fla., Alfred Hair was one of seven children, including two brothers and four sisters. It is impossible to imagine that the Florida Highwaymen artists would have existed as a group without Alfred Hair.
Known as much for his visionary skills as a salesman, leader, and entrepreneur as he is as an artist, it was Hair’s foresight in knowing that what the Highwaymen artists painted could sell, and how to sell it at a time of deep racial divide and inequality for Black people in the South, that brought the loosely organized group of African-American painters together and firmly planted Hair as the “ideas man” and driving force behind the Highwaymen in the retelling of their history.
This painting is a quintessential example of Florida Highwaymen art, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts. As a historical record of Florida’s landscapes, this original painting captures the untamed beauty throughout the state.
