Traveling the highways of the Sunshine State selling their paintings door-to-door and from car trunks, the Highwaymen produced some of the most joyful, vibrant, and genuinely American landscape paintings of the 20th century — and today are recognized as an essential chapter in both Florida art history and American folk and outsider art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting captures the scene Knight returned to again and again throughout his career: a \u003cstrong\u003esailboat silhouetted against a blazing orange sunset\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a graceful palm tree arching in the foreground and three birds in flight against the sky. It is the quintessential Highwaymen composition — immediate, optimistic, and painted with the confident, rapid brushwork (and in Knight's case, the distinctive \u003cstrong\u003epaint knife signature\u003c\/strong\u003e) that defines the movement. Signed with paint knife in the lower right foreground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIsaac Knight is among the more sought-after of the 26 original Highwaymen painters. His work is held in private collections throughout Florida and has been exhibited in institutional surveys of the movement. Highwaymen paintings have appreciated significantly since the group's rediscovery in the 1990s and their 2004 induction into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Isaac Knight (American, 1941–2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fort Pierce Highwaymen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on canvas-board\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sailboat in front of bright orange sunset; palm tree in foreground; three birds in flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed with paint knife, lower right foreground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter Associates, Inc., Plainville, CT — April 20, 2026 — Lot 217\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please review all photographs carefully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup \u0026amp; Shipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Local pickup preferred.
