DESCRIPTION:Apr 18 - May 20\, 2026\nRenowned as one of America’s most imp
 ortant landscape painters\, Richard Mayhew died on September 26\, 2024. He
  was 100. Mayhew was born in Amityville\, New York\, in 1924\, to a father
  of Montaukett/Shinnecock descent and a mother who was African-American an
 d Cherokee-Lumbee. He loved art as a boy\, and after a stint in the U.S. M
 arines he began art study in New York City. An educator and illustrator as
  well as an artist\, Mayhew relocated to California in 2000\, where he pai
 nted in oils and watercolor. He called his landscapes “mindscapes\,” a
 nd their rich\, saturated color reads as ecstasy. “Understory” surveys
  Mayhew’s work between 1960—when the artist studied color theory in Fl
 orence\, Paris\, and Amsterdam—and 2023\, the year before his death. Thr
 oughout those seven decades\, Mayhew saw his practice as an artistic recla
 mation of the land stolen from his Black\, Shinnecock\, and Cherokee-Lumbe
 e ancestors. “I’m painting Forty Acres and a Mule\,” he explained\, 
 “I’m painting the treaty land that was never honored for Native Americ
 ans.”
