❤️💛💜Milton Avery. Dos figuras en la playa (1950)

[artbookdap]

This detail from "Self-portrait" (1941⁠) is from ⁠'Milton Avery,' published by @royalacademyarts for the exhibition traveling from @themodernfw⁠ to @thewadsworth to @royalacademyarts ⁠ ⁠ Born in 1885 to a working-class family in Connecticut, Milton Avery left school at 16 to work in a factory. Intending to study lettering but soon transferring to painting, he attended evening school for 15 years before moving to New York in the 1920s to pursue a career as a painter.⁠ ⁠ Although he never identified with a particular movement, Avery was a sociable member of the New York art scene. He became a figure of considerable influence for a younger generation of American artists, including Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb and Barnett Newman. His talent was praised by Rothko, who said of his work that “the poetry penetrated every pore of the canvas to the last touch of the brush.”⁠ ⁠ With more than 100 color reproductions, this volume is the first overview of Avery’s pioneering work in many years. Edith Devaney introduces Avery and his work, while Erin Monroe looks at Avery’s early years in Hartford, and Marla Price examines Matisse’s influence upon his art. A conversation with the artist’s daughter March Avery Cavanaugh and an illustrated chronology by Isabella Boorman complete the book.⁠ ⁠ Text by Edith Devaney, Erin Monroe & Marla Price.⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ IMAGE CREDIT⁠ Self-portrait, 1941⁠ Oil on canvas, 137.2 × 86.4 cm⁠ (54 × 34 inches)⁠ Collection Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art,⁠ Purchase College, State University of New York.⁠ Gift from the Estate of Roy R.

Conversation in Studio, Milton Avery, 1943, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

Milton Avery was an American artist known for his study and usage of color, often referred to as a precursor to Color Field painters. His work frequently bridged the gap between realist and abstract art. The four figures in Conversation in the Studio have not been identified; however, meetings like these were a common occurrence in both Avery’s New York apartment and art studio. American artists such as Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb among others would often stop by to see and discuss Avery’s work, while Avery in turn would sketch the gatherings and conversations taking place around him. The artist himself addressed this tendency, asking “why talk when you can paint?” The flat color fields and textured application of thin paint layers give shape and structure to the elegantly dressed figures and their surroundings. By the 1940s, Avery was increasingly using a nonnaturalistic palette to create mood in his paintings, as the bright-blue and green faces of the men demonstrate. Bequest of Roy R.
