Milton Avery @
Victoria Miro,
London
—
“Avery spanned, and
to an extent became
the link between, two
significant twentieth
century national
movements: American
Impressionism and
Abstract Expressionism.”
Born:
1885. Altmar,
New York.
Celebrated for:
His luminous paintings
of landscapes, figures
and still lifes, which
balance distillation
of form with free,
vigorous brushwork
and lyrical colour.
The exhibition:
is Victoria Miro's
first exhibition
by Avery since
announcing
its European
representation of
Milton Avery’s
work, and also
the first exhibition
of the artist’s
work in London
for ten years –
featuring paintings
and works on paper
from throughout
his career, ranging
in date from the
1930's to the 1960's.
Of note:
Many of Avery's
works on display
at Victoria Miro
have never been
exhibited outside
of the United States.
