Description: Whether making painterly abstracts or carving linocut prints, New York artist Richard Mock (1944-2006) employed a tight rhythmic structure. In this abstract entitled "Yellow River", the framework allowed Mock to apply paint with great freedom creating heavily textured surfaces without sacrificing a sense of order. And Richard Mock's command of color relationships sends lesser artists back to their color theory notes. View paint detail 1 and paint detail 2 for a better view of Mock's use of color .
Richard Mock is represented in museums including: Museum of Modern Art (New York), Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), National Museum of American Art, (Washington), Victoria & Albert Museum (London), Museo de Monterrey (Mexico), National Museum of Australia (Canberra).
