Milton Avery Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, b. 1885 - d. 1965

Born in New York, painter Milton Avery moved to Connecticut where he began brief art studies at both the Connecticut League of Art Students and Hartford's School of the Art Society, but he was mostly self taught. Milton Avery art often featured his daughter March, and was painted using bright vibrant colors to create soft facial contours. The first exhibition of Milton Avery art was held In 1927, and the artist's subjects consisted of landscapes, still-life, and figures done in abstract-expressionist style.

A majority of the Milton Avery abstract paintings for sale today, particularly the landscapes and still-life subjects, were painted on scene. In 1949 Avery fell ill and was unable to paint outside any longer, so he began painting in his studio.

Milton Avery is known for Abstract sea landscape and nude figure painting. Known as a colorist focused on serene mood, harmony, and rounded shapes, Milton Avery was primarily a self taught painter whose work combining abstraction and realism suggests dialogue between line, shape, muted color, and subdued emotions. Most of his subjects were either marine scenes or figure studies. Although never associated with a particular movement, Avery was a key modernist who influenced succeeding generations of artists including Color Field painters Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb.

Born in Altmar, New York, Avery moved to Hartford, Connecticut, in 1898 and began his art studies at the Connecticut League of Art Students. He later settled in New York City, where he became a central figure in the American art scene. Avery's work, characterized by a blend of abstraction and representation, often depicted serene landscapes, domestic scenes, and portraits, rendered in flat, bold colors. His unique style influenced subsequent generations of artists, including Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb. Despite initial struggles for recognition, Avery's work eventually gained acclaim, and he is now celebrated for his significant contributions to American modern art.
