RICHARD MAYHEW - Where Color Meets Meaning

Описание: African and Native American painter Richard Mayhew is known for his vibrant, deceptively neutral landscapes — but his work carries powerful meaning. “I’m painting Forty Acres and a Mule,” he explains, referencing the land and livestock promised but never delivered to freed slaves after the Civil War.

Inspired by tonalist landscape painter George Inness and a talented jazz musician, Mayhew sought to capture the melody of sensitivity in his paintings. Discover the story of this remarkable artist and experience the depth and beauty of his work.
