Harold Newton – The Original Highwayman HBDJ Florida Landscape Artists Harold Newton – The Original Highwayman by Gary Monroe The book features a unique look at the world of Harold Newton with plenty of history with lots of interesting information and exhaustive research, plenty of photos and unusual pieces. Harold Newton was an unrecognized vagabond artist who not only captured the beauty of the Florida landscape but transformed it with an artistry that invoked its drama of l...ight, color, and form while hinting at its dark, primordial forces. One of his fellow Highwaymen once observed of his work, "It don't have to be signed to know it's a Newton." Combining samples of his paintings with biographical details and reminiscences of family members, customers, and fellow Highwaymen, Gary Monroe creates an homage to the man whose work contributed perhaps more than anyone else's to shaping the romantic imagery and identity of modern Florida.
