Mervin Honig was a New York-based painter and illustrator who is best known for his realistic depictions of everyday life and sports themes. He initially studied art from 1939 through 1941 with Francis Criss. During the war, Honig began to exhibit nationally, including as part of the Portrait of America exhibitions which originated at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and traveled around the country, as well as at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. After being discharged from military service, Honig furthered his studies with Amadee Ozenfant in 1946 and Hans Hoffman from 1947 through 1950. He was represented by the venerable Frank Rehn Gallery and ACA Gallery, both in New York. Later in life, in addition to his fine art practice, Honig also worked as a conservator and taught at NYC Community College and Hofstra University. Collectible Fine Art, Architectural Landscape.
