AVERY, Milton
Milton Avery (1885–1965), though best known for his color-rich paintings, made a significant yet often overlooked contribution to 20th-century American printmaking. Late in his career, particularly after a heart attack in 1949, Avery turned more intently to print media, producing a small but striking body of monotypes and drypoints. His prints echo the simplified forms and harmonious palettes of his paintings, distilling scenes of domestic life, landscapes, and figures into lyrical, flattened compositions. Avery approached printmaking with the same painterly sensibility that defined his canvases, emphasizing mood over detail and establishing a quiet, poetic presence in the modern printmaking tradition.
