Paintings by the Florida Highwaymen—an informal collective of prolific landscape artists active in Florida during the 1950s and '60s—are recognizable by their reiteration of the same general compositional structures and subjects: breaking waves and backcountry pines, to name two. But there was room for individuation: Sam Newton's Tangerine Sky, for example, may resemble other Highwaymen paintings at first glance, but his works stand out for their more realistic and less impressionistic qualities.
