Prison Murals: Al Black and the Florida Highwaymen

admin » 03 November 2008 » In florida-artist » No Comments

As announced by Jacksonville’s Cummer Museum:

Thursday, Oct 30, 2008 through Sunday, Jan 4, 2009
Al Black spent the 1960s and 1970s selling paintings by The Highwaymen, a group of Florida artists. Eventually, he started making his own canvases. Life was good. By the 1980s, however, the demand for Highwaymen creations was slowing, and by the late 1990s, Al Black found himself in jail.
While housed at the Central Florida Reception Center near Orlando, Black’s past as a Highwayman artist was discovered by the Warden, and Black was allowed the opportunity to paint murals throughout the CFRC.

Author Gary Monroe, best known for his books on the Highwaymen, has photographed Black’s murals, and is in the process of completing a book on the same subject. As Monroe says, Al Black’s prison murals allow a glimpse into another world, where a painting can offer “an artful prescription to alleviate what ails many desperate lives.”
