With very little formal training, Palmer Hayden pursued painting because he enjoyed it. He flourished during the Harlem Renaissance and developed a more abstract style to represent Black Americans in paintings like Midnight Harlem and Jeunesse. His works are now considered thoughtful reflections of Black American folklore stories, including those of John Henry. A watercolor painting by Hayden showing a New York street scene will be featured in the upcoming Fine Art, Antiques, Jewelry Auction, presented by Helmuth Stone Gallery in early October.
