The
Indian River School painters were students or close artistic
compatriots of Backus. Highly regarded for the skill and
quality of their artwork, their beautiful paintings, primarily
of Florida landscapes, have continued to increase in value.
Many consider these artists to embody the "Backus
School" of painting as their work so clearly reflects the
technique and style of A.E. Backus.
The Indian River School painters whose work is handled within
the museum's consignment program include: Don D. Brown, James
Hutchinson, Therese Knowles, Margaret Z. Smith, Julie Enders,
Annie Nobles Miller, Jackie Schindehette and Jackie Brice. We
also handle the work of the Highwaymen whose work is exhibited
in a separate section of this website.
The Backus Museum accepts "Indian River School"
paintings on consignment. As a seller's agent we represent and
protect the interests of the seller. In exchange of our
services we accept a 20% commission of the final negotiated
selling price.
If
you are interested in purchasing a painting, having your
Backus appraised or selling your painting through the
museum's consignment program, please contact the museum at
