Fish 1952

Milton Avery's 1952 woodcut "Fish" is a minimalist depiction of a fish swimming against a blue background. Avery's signature style of simplified forms and bold lines is evident in this piece. The artist's signature and the date are visible at the bottom of the print, while the number "1/25" indicates that this is one of 25 prints in the edition. "Fish" is a striking example of Avery's mastery of graphic design, a popular art form in the mid-20th century.
