Description

Howard Mehring is best known for his hard-edged geometrical color field paintings and screenprints. But he first proved his worth as a painter in his abstract expressionist work.

This painting is one of the very few of Mehring’s early works which remain extant. An oil on canvas, it is expressionist and chaotic.
