Milton Avery,
‘The Late Portraits’
@ Victoria Miro
—
“What was Avery’s
repertoire? His living
room, Central Park,
his wife Sally, his
daughter March…
his friends and
whatever world
strayed through his
studio; a domestic,
unheroic cast.”
Born:
1885, New York.
The exhibition:
Presents a series
of portraits by Milton
Avery, drawn from
the last four years
of the artist's life
—
Characterised by
economy of touch
and luminescence
of colour, the works
on view see Avery
apply a lifetime of
experience to cherished
subjects and motifs.
“Together, the
works reveal Avery’s
undiminished drive
to create, as well
as the enduring
strength and deep
comfort of familial
bonds...”
On view at:
