The Original Florida Highwaymen Artists To Visit Manor Auctions Tallahassee Gallery
The Original Florida Highwaymen artists will visit Manor Auctions Tallahasseee gallery this Saturday, May 7th. A group of the Original Florida Highwaymen will be painting, selling works and speaking with the public during Manor Auctions Fine Art & Collectible Auction. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to plan a visit to meet this historic group of African American Florida landscape artists. Their unique style of painting has come to define Florida landscape art, distinguished by the use of rich, vibrant color applied typically to Upson board. The Highwaymen were inducted in to the Florida Artists Hall Of Fame in 2004. Their paintings can be found in private collections, galleries, museums and government buildings. The Highwaymen will be at Manor Auctions Tallahassee gallery from 10am through the early evening hours.
The Florida Highwaymen movement began in the early 1950’s when A.E. Backus, a prominent White artist in S. Florida began teaching Alfred Hair, a little known African-American art student who was eager to make a career in painting. Their unlikely partnership began what would become known as the Florida Highwaymen.

Philip James de Loutherbourg Landscape Paintings On May 7th Auction Block
Philip James de Loutherbourg Landscape Paintings On May 7th Auction Block
A pair of Philip James de Loutherbourg (French, 1740 - 1812) oil on canvas landscape paintings will sell in Manor Auctions May 7th Fine Art Auction. The pair of Loutherbourg paintings were acquired from a private Floirda collection and are in very good condition. Loutherbourg established himself as an accomplished romantic landscape painter during his time. These paintings are a good representation of Loutherbourg's grasp on landscape painting and romanticism. Throughout his life, Loutherbourg was an alsatian painter, illustrator and stage designer, active in France and England.
Trained under his father, Philipp Jakob (1698-1768), an accomplished painter of miniature portraits. Jakob moved the family to Paris in 1755. While living in Paris Loutherbourg became a pupil of Carle Vanloo; he also attended Jean-Georges Wille's engraving academy in the Quai des Augustins and Francesco Casanova's studio. Wille directed Loutherbourg's attention to 17th-century Dutch landscape artists, such as Philips Wouwerman and Nicolaes Berchem, and in 1763 Denis Diderot noticed the inspiration of the latter in Loutherbourg's first Salon exhibit, a landscape with figures (Liverpool, Walker A.G.).
Manor Auctions is pleased to bring these fine Loutherbourg landscape paintings to market in the their May 7th Fine Art Catalog Auction, taking place in their Tallahassee Auction Gallery.
