Alfred Hair Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1941 - d. 1971

Artist Alfred Hair was born in 1941, and had a short but prestigious artistic career. He was the founder of the Highwaymen art movement, employing a team of people to produce and distribute his art. Most of Alfred Hair's paintings for sale were fast-paint creations, a method that used multiple artists to complete a painting in an assembly line manner.

Though mass-produced, Alfred Hair prints of Florida landscapes were rich in color and sold well among tourists. Using oil paints, Hair captured the flowering trees, sandy beaches, and rolling waves that define Florida. The most popular Alfred Hair prints have been reproduced from his slow-paint creations that were completed entirely by the artist. Sadly, Hair's life was cut short at the age of 29, when he died en route to the hospital after being shot at a bar.

    Hair, Alfred (1941-1970) Florida Highwaymen Painting. Oil on Canvas - Signed lower right as "FREDDY" Executed in brush and palette knife. Rare "Freddy" signature. "Freddy" depicts a luminous river inlet where a trinity of sweeping palms frames a tropical estuary. Rare purple water hyacinths punctuate the marsh; billowing white clouds animate the sky while Hair's signature bird arcs above, unifying composition, rendered in Hair's vibrant, economical brushwork. Canvas measures 24x48 framed to overall size of 30x54. The life of Alfred Hair recounts a conversation between Gibson and Roger Lightle that the "Freddy signatures were part of a contract with a local businessman to paint 200 paintings - All were painted on canvas provided by the purchaser." James Gibson, who also was part of the painting assignment, completed 80 of them. An extensive search of the market reveals fewer than 10 "Freddy" paintings remain and images of only 8 are known to be confirmed, with the present example being one of only 2 known in 48" size. In fifteen (15) years of auction trends, a mere 4 have emerged lending credibility to both their desirability and assurance that few survived. In 2021, Manor was pleased to present a Poinciana, which realized $5,700 even in consideration of it 16x24 small format and having been removed from it's original frame. Extensive search of online historical records account for 2 others. Manor is privileged to present "Freddy #5" With it's original frame. Condition: Very Fine

Ms. Jefferson, a teacher by trade and formally educated at Fisk University, began teaching the subject of art by parental arrangement to Alfred who was scarcely a teenager at age 13.This caring mentorship included influences extended from her academic life, her passion for painting, as well as the ascendancy of sway from her close friend Albert E. Backus. The present, historically important, example is the earliest known work of Alfred Hair. It is an essentially honorable blend of Moran, Inness and Backus with authentication and joyful provenance from his first mentor Zenobia Jefferson. Simple cheese cloth, glued to cardboard and primitively framed - stands as a testament to a child’s innocent simplicity and the emerging complex foresight needed to navigate his future. In the early 1950s, Zenobia Jefferson became acquainted with the parents of Alfred Hair. Ms. Jefferson, a teacher by trade and formally educated at Fisk University, began teaching the subject of art by parental arrangement to Alfred who was scarcely a teenager at age 13. This caring mentorship included influences extended from her academic life, her passion for painting, as well as the ascendancy of sway from her close friend Albert E. Backus. Ms. Jefferson was a regular visitor at the Backus home and together they re-traced the steps and explored the early development of the St Augustine School of Art movement. In the shadow of the St. Augustine Lighthouse an art colony formed in the late 1800s, drawing artists to the city’s Spanish-colonial architecture and Atlantic vistas. Winslow Homer Journeyed south along the Florida East Coast Railway in1904 to Homosassa Springs where his passion for fly fishing inspired one of his most celebrated watercolors “Foul Hooked Black Bass”. He was preceded by a host of Americas most notable artists who championed the northern art markets with panoramas of New England harbors and majestic Hudson River Valley scenes. Thomas Moran rendered subtle sub-tropical examples of Florida’s rivers and valleys. George Inness spent his final winters in Tarpon Springs blending the luminous aesthetic of Florida’s costal scenes with soft light and muted colors. Martin Johnson Heade relocated to St. Augustine in 1884 where he remained until passing in 1904. Backus, often referred to as the “Dean of Florida Art,” studied works of these great artists briefly in New York before settling in Fort Pierce Florida. In his tropical hamlet, he cultivated a luminescent, impasto-driven style depicting marshes, mangroves, and tropical skyways, which came to define the Indian River School’s core aesthetic. There, he mentored Alfred Hair, Harold Newton and other budding artists while Zenobia Jefferson influenced their young minds at Lincoln Park Academy. The European influence from the Hudson River School masters taught by Zenobia blended with an avantgarde zesty new look from Backus and perhaps even a touch of Harlem Renaissance ignited and transformed into what now graces the walls of Museums and Institutions as Highwaymen Art. Tokens of testimony to their mentors abound in their works tracing directly back to Ms. Jefferson. Exemplified by symbolism of broken branches and tree trunks, which proceed from European technique to underscore impermanence and the suggestion of inevitable mortality and decay. These techniques blended with Backus’s illustration of focus on landscape and lesser attention to people or elements and the use of weather components to anchor negative space. We invite you to visit “Tropical Lights” The art of AE Backus- pp; 60-64 to experience a few select examples of works cited above with striking resemblance to this Historic Alfred Hair treasure.
