Designer Bio:Bigraphy from Firestone Fine Art - II: Harold Newton (b.1934-d.1994) was a black folk artist who painted in and around Melbourne, Florida, 1955 - 1987. Newton was a member of the "Highwaymen", a group of itinerent black artists painting in the treasure coast area of Florida. Biography from AskArt: One of the Florida African-American painters known as the Highwaymen, Harold Newton and the others were landscapists with a fanciful, formula style that involved billowing cumulus clouds and the ocean. The group included Newton, James Gibson, and Alfred Hair, and were influenced by Albert E. Backus, the "dean of Florida landscape painting". Typically they painted on upson board, a manufactured product used by roofers, and they framed their works with crown molding and sold the paintings from their car trunks.
