Avery, Milton [Grad, Bonnie Lee (text), and forward by Sally Michael Avery] - Milton Avery [Numbered 322 of 500 Copies]

Toronto, David Mirvish Books on Art, 1981. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. First edition, hardcover on brown cloth (12 1/4 x 13”, 31 x 33 cm), limited Canadian edition of the U.S. Strathcona printing, numbered 322 of 500 copies. A lovely coffee-table sized book of forty-eight colour oil paintings comprising portraits, landscapes, and still life. Influenced by Fauvism, German Expressionism, and Matisse, Avery developed a lyrical style portraying pastoral subjects. In Wikipedia we find, “Art critic Hilton Kramer said, in his review of Grad's book with its sumptuous illustrations, He was, without question, our greatest colorist.. Among his European contemporaries, only Matisse—to whose art he owed much, of course—produced a greater achievement in this respect.[11]” A high quality Art book with the text printed on 100 lb. grey vellum while the colour reproductions are on 110 lb. Vintage Velvet. This copy is in very good condition. The Mylar-protected dust jacket is in excellent condition and neatly price-clipped. The paper is slightly wavy and there are a few small marks on the end-paper front and back. A lovingly assembled memorial to one of America’s greatest painters. .
