Show for Feb 21, 2010. Richard Mayhew: Portrait of the Artist as a (Perpetually) Young Man
An interview with Richard Mayhew, noted landscape painter (though the label’s not quite right, for reasons he explains) about his life and work. Born in Long Island in 1926, joined the NYC art scene at the height of abstract expressionism, had a second career as a jazz singer, studied in Europe, helped found the Spiral collective of African-American artists (with Romare Bearden, Norman Lewis and others). Continues to paint tirelessly.
