Dawn 1952

"Dawn" (1952) is a woodcut by American artist Milton Avery, depicting a bird in flight against a dark background, accented by a crescent moon and stars. Avery, known for his simplified forms and vibrant colors, captures the essence of dawn in this striking artwork. The use of bold black and yellow evokes a sense of energy and movement, characteristic of Avery's style. This minimalist yet evocative print highlights Avery's ability to convey complex emotions through pared-back imagery.
