This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  One of the Florida African-American painters known as the Highwaymen, James Gibson and the others were landscapists with a fanciful, formula style that involved billowing cumulus clouds and the ocean. The group included Gibson, Harold Newton and Alfred Hair and were influenced by Albert E Backus, the "dean of Florida landscape Painting."
Typically they painted on upson board, a manufactured product used by roofers, and they framed their works with crown molding and sold the paintings from their car trunks.
