Book excerpt: 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 fifteen years before moving to New York in the 1920s to pursue a career as a painter.0Although 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 'the poetry penetrated every pore of the canvas to the last touch of the brush'.0Edith 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.00Exhibition: Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK (16.07. - 16.10.2022).

Book excerpt: Milton Avery chronicles the work of an artist who, although he did not become a serious, full-time painter until after he moved to New York at the age of 40, managed to carve out a unique position for himself in the art world over the next thirty-five years. A friend and colleague of the Abstract Expressionists who nevertheless maintained his commitment to representation, Avery was enormously important to several succeeding generations of artists and produced some of the most resonant and beloved images in American art history. Avery's work reflects the concerns he shared with the pioneer French modernists including Matisse, Dufy, and Picasso: saturated colour in distinctly new combinations and an interest in retaining the two-dimensional character of the canvas. The combination allowed him to create a distinctly American brand of modernism. AUTHOR: Robert Hobbs is an art historian who has taught at Yale and Cornell Universities. He is also the author of monographs on Robert Smithson and Edward Hopper. Hilton Kramer is a former critic of The New York Observer and former chief art critic of The New York Times. SELLING POINTS: The highly anticipated reprint of the artist's monograph that is still is considered the most comprehensive presentation of Avery's work Included are many unfamiliar pieces, in oversize colour plates that range in date from the early 1920s to 1963 A detailed chronology of the artist's life is included and rounding out the volume are essays that explore Avery's career in detail, from the importance of Avery's wife Sally Michel, to the interaction--personal, artistic, and political--between him and his Abstract Expressionist colleagues 120 colour & 38 b/w illustrations

Book Synopsis Milton Avery's Vermont by : Jamie Franklin

Download or read book Milton Avery's Vermont written by Jamie Franklin. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton Avery's Vermont accompanies a summer, 2016 exhibition at the Bennington Museum which takes the first focused look at the work this prominent American modernist created based on six summers of intense activity in southern Vermont between 1935 and 1943. Avery regularly spent his summers traveling with his family in search of new material, and may have been drawn to Vermont by his friend Meyer Schapiro, one of the foremost art historians of the twentieth century. Noted for his simultaneous commitment to exploring the formal, abstract qualities of art and creating representational images drawn from his daily encounters with people and places, Avery captured his family's summer activities and his personal response to the Vermont landscape in works characterized by bold, gestural marks and bright, non-associative colors. Milton Avery's Vermont examines Avery's artistic process through pencil sketches executed en plein air, fresh watercolors based on his sketches, and major oil paintings.
