Oregon Coast 1947

Milton Avery's "Oregon Coast" (1947) is a vibrant, abstract landscape painting. Avery, known for his simplified forms and bold colors, depicts a coastline with rocky formations and a swirling pink sea. The artist's signature style of flat, geometric shapes and limited palette creates a sense of stillness and serenity, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty of the natural world. Avery's approach is reminiscent of modernist movements like Fauvism and Expressionism, but his work ultimately remains distinct, characterized by its unique combination of abstraction and realism.
