This superb oversized volume is the first to truly do justice to the immensely influential work of one of America's great artists. In this highly anticipated second printing, Milton Avery chronicles the work of an artist who managed to carve out a unique position for himself in the art world over thirty-five years. The magnificent artists' monograph presents all of Avery's most important paintings, including many unfamiliar ones, in oversize colour plates: they range from the early 1920s to 1963. A detailed chronology of the artist's life is included and rounding out the volume are essays that explore Avery's career in detail.
