The Highwaymen were a group of African-American landscape painters who were inspired and mentored by A.E. "Bean" Backus. While only Alfred Hair was technically a student, Backus' influence extended to the twenty-six (give or take a few) artists who for better or worse have been given the moniker "The Highwaymen".

This group of entrepreneurial painters has been identified as including the following artists: Alfred Hair, Harold Newton, Sam Newton, Lemuel Newton, Curtis Arnett, Hezekiah Baker, Al Black, Ellis Buckner, George Buckner, Robert Butler, Mary Ann Carroll ( the groups only woman), Johnny Daniels, Willie Daniels, Rodney Demps, James Gibson, Isaac Knight, Robert Lewis, John Maynor, Roy McLendon, Alfonso "Pancho" Moran, Willie Regan, Livingston Roberts, Cornell Smith, Charles Walker, Sylvester Wells and Charles "Chico" Wheeler. Their 100,000 plus paintings have garnered significant interest and have become quite collectible

The Backus Gallery accepts Highwaymen paintings on consignment. As a seller's agent we represent and protect the interests of the seller. In exchange of our services we accept a 20% commission of the final negotiated selling price.

If you are interested in purchasing a painting, having your Backus appraised or selling your painting through the Gallery's consignment program, please contact the Gallery at info@backusmuseum.com or call 772-465-0630 for more information.
