Autumn 1944

"Autumn" is a 1944 painting by American artist Milton Avery. This painting embodies Avery’s signature style: bold, simplified forms and vivid colors. The landscape is rendered with broad strokes and flat planes, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. The central white tree, with its bare branches reaching towards the sky, is a prominent feature in this work. Avery’s masterful use of color, especially the contrasting hues of purple, orange, and blue, adds a vibrant energy to the scene. This painting is a testament to Avery’s ability to capture the essence of nature with a unique and expressive style.
