1 Milton Clark Avery (American, ) Landscape with Cow Signed Milton Avery l.l. Oil with tooling on canvas, 28 x 36 1/4 in. (71.1 x 92.1 cm), framed. Provenance: Through the family of the artist, then by descent to the current owner. N.B. Milton Avery was one of 20th century America s foremost artists, known for his unique combination of color and abstraction, and his depiction of the natural world. Born in 1885 in Altmar, New York, Avery was interested in art from an early age. He studied art at the Connecticut League of Art Students in Hartford and the Art Society of Hartford, while working various factory jobs to support himself. He then moved to New York City, married Sally Michael, and began creating art full time. In New York he began exhibiting his work regularly and cultivating friendships with other artists, especially Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb, and Marsden Hartley. Avery s art, however, was individualistic; he rejected Rothko and Gottlieb s manifesto on tragic and timeless subject matter, and the popular technique of complete abstraction. Avery worked as an artist in the Easel Division of the WPA Federal Art Project while developing his signature style, a mixture of abstraction and figures with bold color choices. These works were usually painted from nature and his compositions were bold, geometric arrangements. He had his first major retrospective show at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1952, and the Whitney Museum presented another retrospective in Avery s work has had a profound impact on modern art in the late 20th century, and especially on color field painting. $80, ,
