  • Milton Avery and the End of Modernism
    CHAPTER I FORMATIVE YEARS Milton Avery, the son of Russell Eugene and Esther March Avery, was born in Altmar, New York, a small town near Oswego, on March 7, 1885. When Avery was eight years old, his family moved to Hartford, Connecticut, his home for the next twenty-four years. Upon graduating from high school he took a low-paying job at a local typewriter factory, but in hopes of finding more lucrative employment as a commercial artist he applied for a course in lettering at the Connecticut League of Art Students in Hartford. Unable to gain admittance to the over-crowded lettering class, he opted for a drawing course at the League taught by Charles Noel Flagg and Albertus Jones. This single semester of drawing in charcoal was Avery’s only formal art training in a painting career that would span more than fifty years. Avery began painting directly from nature in the rural area around Hartford known as the East Meadows, and also began his lifelong practice of sketching the human figure. He began working a night shift at the United States Tire and Rubber Company in order to free his daylight hours for painting. Avery spent the next twelve years of his life working and painting in almost complete obscurity. He would always modestly refer to the activity of painting as a “favorite pastime.” 1 In the summer of 1925, Avery, now 40, traveled to the artists’ colony in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he met Sally Michel, a young artist and illustrator from Brooklyn. That fall he moved to New York to be with Sally, and in the spring of 1926 they were married.

  • Milton Avery Milton Avery Selected Works from the Estate of the Artist
    MILTON AVERY MILTON AVERY SELECTED WORKS FROM THE ESTATE OF THE ARTIST OCTOBER 6 - NOVEMBER 3, 2012 STILL LIFE WITH TWISTED BREAD 1937, Oil on board 24 x 20 inches (61 x 50.8 cm) Avery’s genius lay in his ability to portray moods that stimulate each viewer’s consciousness on an almost ar - chetypal level. As the depiction of iconic relationships came to dominate his work, his paintings acquired greater poignancy. In relinquishing the transitory and the specific, Avery bestowed on his subjects a suspended calm. Depictions of group activities - family and friends playing games, making music, relaxing together at the beach - were replaced by a quality of separateness. Figure portrayals were now generally of single figures or of couples isolated in otherwise deserted landscapes. This mood of emptiness and quietude extended to his landscapes and seascapes as well; even in these, pictorial incidents seldom intrude upon the limitless expanse of empty space. Avery`s portraits and figure compositions were typical of the work that dominated the New York art scene in the twenties: his close - cropped individual portraits isolated against flat backgrounds related to the academic paintings of artists at the Art Students League, while his figure groups were similar to the urban genre paint - ings of artists later identified with the American Scene. -Barbara Haskell, Milton Avery, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 1982 COVER: (detail) POOL PLAYER 1929, Oil on canvas, 36 x 28 inches (91.5 x 71.1 cm) REFLECTED ARTIST 1927, Oil on board 20 x 16 inches (50.8 x 40.6 cm) PING PONG PLAYERS 1942, oil on board 19 1/4 x 11 1/8 inches (48.8 x 28.2 cm) Signed "Milton" lower left and "Avery" lower right Private Collection POOL PLAYER 1929, Oil on canvas 36 x 28 inches (91.5 x 71.1 cm) YOUNG ARTIST 1935, Oil on board 20 x 16 inches (50.8 x 40.6 cm) ARTIST 1939, Oil on board 19 x 15 inches (48.3 x 38.1 cm) VIOLINIST n.

Oil on canvas, 28 x 48 1/4 in. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Roy R. Neuberger, 1951 (51.97). © 2019 The Milton Avery Trust / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Image copyright © The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Image source: Art Resource, NY. GREENWICH, CT, March 28, 2019 – On May 11, 2019, the Bruce Museum will open Summer with the Averys [Milton | Sally | March]. Featuring landscapes, seascapes, beach scenes, and figural compositions—as well as rarely seen travel sketchbooks—the exhibition takes an innovative approach to the superb work produced by the Avery family. Along with canonical paintings by Milton Avery, the show offers a unique opportunity to become acquainted with the remarkable art created by Avery’s wife Sally and their daughter March. In the summer of 1924, while painting in the fishing port and artist’s colony of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Avery met young artist Sally Michel, whom he would marry less than two years later. They would return to Gloucester and elsewhere in New England for summertime visits during the following decade, sometimes with close friends Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman. Page 1 of 4 Press Release After March Avery’s birth in 1932, the three Averys ventured forth over the years as far south as Mexico (including six weeks at San Miguel de Allende); west to Laguna Beach, California; and north to Canada’s Gaspé Peninsula.

  • Borne Back to the Past: Anna Walinska at Lawrence Fine Art
    Borne Back to the Past: Anna Walinska at Lawrence Fine Art August 20, 2015 by Charles A. Riley II Abstract Expressionism, Art Reviews, HAMPTONS, Hamptons & East End, Painting,Reviews Quick, somebody get Woody Allen on the phone, his next Jazz Age romance set in Paris has arrived, fresh as a croissant just out of the oven. Opening scene: Spring 1926, nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn just off boat heads to Montmartre. Shares an outdoor table with painter named Pablo, whom she sketches (maybe juice the history a bit and have them draw each other). Scene two, teenage heroine studies color with Matisse and Cubism with Andre Lhote. Anna Walinska on a ship to Paris. Courtesy of Lawrence Fine Art. Later scenes are set on 57th Street in Manhattan (where she opens a gallery), on stage in the Yiddish theater and as a flamenco dancer, and a wild ’round-the-world trip with a four-month stay in Burma (where she becomes the court painter). Think “Pollock” meets “Anna and the King of Siam.” All Woody has to do to get the project started is drop in at the exhibition of Anna Walinska’s abstract paintings at Lawrence Fine Art in East Hampton, on view through August 30, 2015. "Survivors" by Anna Walinska, 1953-56. oil & casein on paper, 44 x 29 inches. Even before taking in the first work in this vigorously honest exhibition of painting, the biographical backstory is enchanting. Anna Walinska was the shy but determined daughter of a labor organizer and a poet in the fur trade.

  • ART HISTORY PAPER MILTON AVERY Submitted by Scott Ervin
    AR 592 ART HISTORY PAPER MILTON AVERY Submitted by Scott Ervin Christensen Art Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 1986 Scott Christensen Art History Paper Professor Levine MILTON AVERY Within the parameters of what has been called art, there have been countless acts taken in order to actualize one's potential to learn whatever it is to be "human." It is never easy to strive for the answers to what one ought to be, or do, instead of merely how to succeed in society. To reach for the completeness where thought and action are one and to attempt unity among all possibilities is a difficult choice, being aware of one's own incompleteness and the overpowering relativism of modern western culture. Aesthetic styles have reflected the changes created within cultural thinking. Generally speaking, within western culture the Nietzschian philosophic popularity initiated through Nietzche' s "Birth of Tragedy" overwhelmed the basically idealist position, rendering those of, say, Collingwood or Tolstoy as being less important or, more precisely, less popular. The fact is that both the existen- tial and the idyllic positions are partly correct, partly incorrect. But as long as more focus is given to the idea that metaphysical systems actually do break down instead of there being a simple popular shift from one to another, a false sense of what is right or wrong is implied. This has often led to the definitions of grand and powerful as being the tragic and sublime. 2 The expressive qualities that art has encompassed have been tremendously affected by the popular concept of the struggle of man.

  • Lennart Anderson
    Interview with Lennart Anderson December 6, 2002 How did you become a painter? I guess I never entertained any other thought, other than fleeting hopes that I could be a major-league baseball player. Other than that, I never had any ambitions of doing anything else, since I was seven or eight years old. I was a fanatic. I've been a fanatic all my life about it. And it doesn't make it any easier to paint, either. I think a lot of people paint a lot more than I do. I got my mother to take me to the Detroit Museum on a Sunday afternoon. It was a long walk to get there, and after it was over, she said, "You'll have to go on your own from now on. I can't do this." I went there almost every Sunday afternoon. Many, many Sunday afternoons I spent at the Detroit Museum. I was there on Pearl Harbor Day. That's where I heard about it. I was thirteen years old then. Were there paintings there that made a particular impression on you? Anything that was painted interested me. It could be the stupidest calendar art. If it was put down with paint, I would cross the street to see it. In a paint store - and I mean a house paint store, if there was a picture in the window, I would cross the street to see it. I loved all kinds of pictures. I was interested in American painting, because the Detroit Museum had a lot of American painting.
