Two Birds 1952

"Two Birds" is a 1952 woodcut print by Milton Avery, known for his simplified forms and bold colors. The image features two birds, one white and one black, in a contrasting color scheme typical of Avery's style. The stark contrast between the birds suggests a duality and highlights the artist's focus on pure visual form over realism. Avery's use of the woodcut technique allows for a rough, textured surface that adds to the abstract nature of the composition. This artwork is a prime example of the artist's unique ability to capture the essence of natural forms in a minimalist style.
