Milton Avery was an American painter and artist. Avery took classes with the Connecticut League of Art Students and the School of the Art Society of Hartford before moving to New York with his wife in 1925. In New York Avery was active in the art scene, often having artists like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman visit his apartment. Though trained more as an academic painter, involvements with New York galleries that frequently exhibited modernist European art led Avery to develop a style that gradually embraced modern styles.
