RICHARD MAYHEW (1934 - ) Untitled.
Oil on linen canvas. 405x510 mm; 16x20 inches. Signed in oil, lower right.
Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist, private collection New Jersey.
The artist said of his work, "Many of my so-called landscapes are very abstract because they are very free-form; I am involved with the spiritual feeling of space. Just to work with figures would be very limiting because that would identify a particular place or situation. The paintings look like landscapes but that is not necessarily my preoccupation in painting.' His consistent investigation of abstraction within landscape has been a feature of his work since the mid-1960s, when he received critical acclaim and was a member of the Spiral Group. His works are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art (where he had his first solo exhibition in 1950) and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.
