Anyone who has seen Milton Avery's work knows why he is called the American Matisse. He still has an American flair in his color choice and extra simplicity. This book is an important addition to any art history library. Professor Hobbs did the world a great service in documenting the life and work of Avery,who is becoming more and more well known following his death. There are many color pictures throughout the book.

This review is from: Milton Avery : The Late Paintings (Hardcover)
The book is wonderful. Well written and well illustrated. A good addition to my library about artists.
However, the book arrived with damage to the book cover (because the packaging was poor) and it took a long time for the shipping. So I would rate the book 5 star and the shipping company 2 stars.
