Small Mountain Town 1943

"Small Mountain Town" is a 1943 pencil sketch by Milton Avery. The artwork depicts a small town nestled at the foot of a large hill, with the surrounding hills rising in the background. Avery's signature use of simplified forms and bold outlines can be seen in the sketch, creating a visually striking composition. The drawing is notable for its minimalist approach to representation, emphasizing the overall landscape and the harmony of natural elements. It is a hallmark of Avery's artistic style, capturing the essence of the scene in a pared-back manner.
