Description:
|
|
Avery is considered to be one of the greatest American colorists and one of the precursors of abstraction in the United States. His initial paintings were heavily influenced by Fauvism and German Expressionism. Without rejecting that heritage, the painter's style became decidedly "Matissian" after 1930. His model and muse for this painting was his wife, Sally Michel, a painter. (Source: Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; http://www.mmfa.qc.c a/)
