Grazing Cows 1943

Milton Avery's "Grazing Cows," a pencil sketch from 1943, is a charming example of his distinctive style. The composition is simple, depicting a landscape with rolling hills and a small group of cows in the foreground. Avery's characteristic use of flat, simplified forms and bold outlines creates a sense of both serenity and dynamism. The minimalist lines and soft shading contribute to a sense of tranquility, capturing the quiet beauty of the rural landscape. The work, measuring only 12.8 x 20 cm, underscores Avery's mastery of creating captivating scenes even on a small scale.
