Milton Avery: Color Form & Composition

Showcasing the pioneering Modernist's use of color and simplified representation, this catalog highlights his continued influence on painting

Milton Avery (1885–1965), grand colorist of modern American art, is revered for his works spanning early Impressionist landscapes to flattened forms of color, which critics say paved the way for the postwar Abstract Expressionists. Summers spent in Provincetown with Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb saw Avery turn the cerulean combination of water and beaches into broad fields of color that magically converged into simplified forms. Highlighting Avery's sustained role as an influential painter, this book collects over 100 images, featuring many of his paintings alongside work from a stellar cast of artists inspired by his oeuvre, including his daughter, March Avery, as well as Henni Alftan, Harold Ancart, Andrew Cranston, Gary Hume, Jonas Wood and Nicolas Party.
