Item Overview

Description

Robert Butler (1943 - 2014) Oil on canvas by noted Florida Highwayman Robert Butler. Turtle basking on log in Serene river under moss laden trees. Measures (29 X 33) framed; (24 X 30) unframed. Good condition. African American Outsider Folk Art.Born in Baxley, Ga. in 1943, Butler and his mother moved to Okeechobee, Fla. when he was four. As a young hunter, he came to know the Everglades well and learned to “’read’ the land,” as The Highwaymen Trail, a heritage trail organization run by the city of Fort Pierce and the Florida Humanities Council, puts it. This familiarity and skill later served him well as a painter of Florida’s interior landscapes. By the early 90s, Robert Butler was considered one of the best landscape painters in Florida and owned a thriving gallery in Lakeland from which he sold his work. Popular with a wide audience, his pieces were especially sought-after by hunters and outdoor aficionados and could command as much as $7,500 per piece. Butler is known for the figures in his paintings, especially turkeys, bears, hunting dogs, cattle, and even the occasional cowboy.
