{"value"=>"<p>Painter. Born Peyton Cole Hedgemen in Wide Water, Virginia, Hayden was best known for his paintings of rural and urban black folk. The circumstances under which his name was changed are unclear, but it is known that he was a U.S. soldier in World War I and a laborer for many years before becoming a full-time painter. Mostly self-taught, he was well into adulthood before receiving any academic art training. At one time Hayden studied to be a commercial artist but realized that his desire to be a fine artist was stronger, and consequently pursued formal training.</p>"}
