Milton Avery spent decades quietly remaking American painting, flattening landscapes into broad, luminous fields of color that the Abstract Expressionists would later claim as their own foundation. This volume collects over 100 images tracing that arc, from his early Impressionist work through the simplified, cerulean forms of his Provincetown summers alongside Rothko and Gottlieb.

Alongside Avery's paintings, work from artists inspired by his legacy, including his daughter March Avery, Jonas Wood, Nicolas Party, and Gary Hume, among others. A generous and overdue tribute to one of modern art's most influential colorists.
