Richard Mayhew "Monuments"
ZONE: CONTEMPORARY ART
This event has ended.
Richard Mayhew is one of America’s most important landscape painters of the twentieth century. Mayhew infuses his abstract Barbizon-style paintings with bright, often psychedelic, colors creating a mysterious world of monumental trees in open meadows, dense bushes, and narrow creeks cradled in saturated colored skies. He masterfully follows and breaks the rules of color theory to entice viewers’ into moody fantasy environments. "Monuments" offers a preview of the paintings that will be seen in Mayhew’s largest career retrospective in the fall at three institutions in California: The Museum of the African Diaspora, the de Saisset Museum in Santa Clara, and the Museum of Art and History, Santa Cruz. In this three-part retrospective, paintings from the beginning of Mayhew’s oeuvre from the late 1950s through 2009 will be featured.
