“Art Observer”
“ It is obvious when one looks at the footage that Yeager has captured you have to begin to not only suspect the fake paintings that are sold, but also wonder about the responsibility of the press who only continued to promote The Highwaymen shows with no real sense of accuracy of the authenticity of the art. Yeager delves into Ft. Pierce looking for the highwaymen as he documents his earnest desire to paint with the highwaymen. When he discovers Livingston Roberts at his home we see many of the artist gathered together, including a rare scene with a staged but sincere reunion with Jimmy Stovall. The artist talk on camera about the old days, and Yeager instead of choosing to edit the scenes lets the moments be so we can get a perspective of a times that have now passed. Livingston passed away several years ago, and we see Yeager and Livingston painting together as Yeager dreamed the day would happen. There are precious moments where Yeager tries to persuade Rodney Demps to paint again. Yeager discovers Rodney wants a new truck so he purchases paints, brushes, massonite boards and recreates a scene that is reminiscent of Alfred Hair painting his art with a photo of a Cadillac tacked up close by for his inspiration to make money. Yeager returns days later to discover the artist has disappeared and left the state. Yeager returns again and again to the neighborhood trying to make friends, many are sceptical but it is Livingston who senses Billy’s true desire to become an artist and we as an audience watch as Billy brings his guitars, his first paintings, and convinces Livingston to let him paint. Yeager devoted a year to the project driving all the way from Miami to Ft. Pierce 5 days a week. If one was to debate whether Yeager is an expert or not, and about the fakes and forgeries, this footage will prove that Yeager at least goes a bit further than just the surface and reveals there is so much more to The Highwaymen than what is previously known.” Dane Paule
