Milton Avery
Milton Avery (1885–1965) one of the great American colorists of the twentieth century, distilled landscape, still life, and figuration into understated yet euphoric compositions of light, form, and pattern. Known as the “American Fauve,” Avery made paintings that bridged Impressionism’s dedication to experiential representation, American modernism’s tendency toward flatness, and Abstract Expressionism’s concern with surface. In 1951, the artist said: “I like to seize one sharp instant in nature, imprison it by means of ordered shapes and space relationships to convey the ecstasy of the moment. To this end I eliminate and simplify, leaving nothing but color and pattern.” Prefiguring later developments in Color Field painting, he worked with broad swaths of thinned-out paint, eschewing modeling and perspective in favor of unmodulated planes of color and flattened space. Despite his pared-down style, Avery remained devoted to subject matter, depicting the American landscape, domestic scenes, and other images from everyday life with unbridled intimacy. While his adherence to traditional motifs confounded critics of his era who equated what was then termed advanced art exclusively with abstraction, his achievements in painting were immediately recognized and celebrated by artists such as Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb and Barnett Newman. As Rothko wrote in his eulogy for Avery, “there was nothing tentative . . . He always had that naturalness, that exactness and that inevitable completeness which can be achieved only by those gifted with magical means, with those born to sing.”
During his lifetime, Avery had institutional solo exhibitions at Phillips Memorial Gallery (now Phillips Collection), Washington, DC (1943); Portland Art Museum, Oregon (1947); Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (1952); Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California (1956); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1960); and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut (1964), among others. Other institutional solo exhibitions include Museum of Modern Art, New York (1965); National Collection of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institution (1969); Brooklyn Museum (1970); Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (1973); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (1980); Whitney Museum of American Art (1982); Milwaukee Art Museum (2001); and Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas (2021). His work is represented in the collections of the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, New York; Art Institute of Chicago; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Philadelphia Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; Tate, London; Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Art, Madrid, Spain; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among others.
