This 1964 hard edge painting on paper is a study for "Spring Sweep" - an important monumental (82" high) Howard Mehring painting, originally in the collection of the former Corcoran curator and CEO Vincent Melzac. The larger work was exhibited at the Washington, D.C., Corcoran Gallery of Art, Vincent Melzac Collection, December 18, 1970-January 24, 1971, Washington, D.C., Corcoran Gallery of Art, Howard Mehring: A Retrospective, December 10, 1977-January 22, 1978. [exhibition catalogue pp. 52 and 63, no. 38 (illustrated)] The present study is signed, dated, and in fact annotated with the names of the colors - ochre and siena. It is made of oil, oilstick, charcoal and gouache on paper. A rare find.
Mehring was once regarded as one of the "premier painters" of the Washington Color School, and has been credited as being a major influence on artists like Thomas Downing, Sam Gilliam and Gene Davis - but he died at the young age of only 47, so there are simply not that many of his works available on the market today.

Howard Mehring (1931-1978) was a leading Washington DC Color painter. Curator Walter Hopps, asserted: “Mehring was the closest painter to Morris Louis in delicacy… [his work is] simultaneously delicate and bold, a rare combination also present in Jackson Pollock’s work.” Gene Davis identified Mehring as “one of the premier painters” of the Washington Color School, explaining: “In many ways he was the most lyrical of us all.” Mehring’s artistic innovations influenced the works of Gene Davis, Thomas Downing, Alma Thomas and Sam Gilliam. Permanent collections include: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; Museum of Modern Art; Whitney Museum of Modern Art, The Tate Gallery, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; National Gallery of Art; Los Angeles County Museum; San Francisco Museum of Art.
