The Drawings of Milton Avery

by Milton Avery (illustrator), Burt Chernow, Sally Avery (foreword)

Avery, a superb draftsman and a tireless worker, drew daily not only to maintain eye and hand coordination, but also to catch the immediacy of his vision. His drawings were the lifeblood of his art and provided the direct subjects of his paintings....Avery's concise and active line, his inspired use of distortion, his daring and lightheartedness--all make this selection a pleasure to own. Chernow's brief biography of Avery and comments on his work add value to this book. (From the back cover.)
