Biography: 
7.3.1893 Born in Altmar, NY (US)
American painter Milton Avery studied life drawing and painting in Hartford, Connecticut.
His early landscapes and seascapes exhibit the light palette, atmospheric mistiness, and heavy impasto of the American Impressionist School.
After moving to New York in 1925, Avery was introduced to the work of Matisse and Picasso, both of whose works inspired the artist to simplify his forms into broad areas of close-valued color. Avery's art became increasingly abstract, but as is evidenced by his mature paintings of the mid-1940's and later, he never abandoned representational subject matter. Even in the 1950's, when Abstract Expressionism dominated painting, Avery's work, with its emphasis on color, was influential to painters such as Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb, Barnett Newman, and other Color Field painters.
3.1.1965 Died in New York City, NY (US)
