Milton Avery

1885–1965 · American

  • Art Students League of New York

Milton Avery developed a quiet modernist language of simplified figures, interiors and landscapes organized through broad areas of muted, unexpected color. Working outside the dominant movements of his era, he became an important bridge between American modernism and later color-field painting.
