Milton Avery is known for Abstract sea landscape and nude figure painting. Known as a colorist focused on serene mood, harmony, and rounded shapes, Milton Avery was primarily a self taught painter whose work combining abstraction and realism suggests dialogue between line, shape, muted color, and subdued emotions. Most of his subjects were either marine scenes or figure studies. Although never associated with a particular movement, Avery was a key modernist who influenced succeeding generations of artists including Color Field painters Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb.
