Milton Avery is a famous American artist of the Modern Art Movement. He was born in New York and studied at the Connecticut League of Art.
Until he was discovered by Roy Neuberger, Milton Avery was living in relative obscurity as a factory worker. Neuberger saw his work and purchased over 100 of his paintings, which he either donated or loaned to Museums all over the world. With such immediate, high-profile exposure, he quickly became a highly successful and famous artist.
Milton Avery's landscape paintings and seascapes of the early 1920s employ broad swaths of color to create a stylized form. He spent approximately 50 years of his life painting, sometimes creating as many as five or six oil paintings in a single day. He was a prolific artist, and today, many of his paintings are either in unknown locations or undocumented.
Milton Avery was associated with Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb, and Barnett Newman and was also a close friend of Marsden Hartley.
Avery is now acclaimed as one of the 20th Century's most influential artists, with many of his famous oil paintings used to create California Style decoration.
