Milton Avery
Milton Avery wood block black and white rare dancer COA appraisal framed period

About the Item

Milton Avery. Dancer, 1954. Woodcut. Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil. A fine impression, on cream wove Japan paper, with full margins (7/8 to 3 1/8 inches); in good condition. Image size 11 15/16 x 9 7/8 inches; sheet size 17 1/4 x 12 inches. Impressions of this work are in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the New York Public Library. This work comes with a COA. Painter/printmaker Milton Avery (1885–1965) made this charming image of a dancer when the Abstract Expressionist movement was in full swing. Though he flirts with abstraction in the simplified forms and broad linear composition of this work, Avery retained the recognizable figure. First carved into a wood block before being inked and printed on paper, the image has a dimensional, sculptural quality. The artist further emphasizes the physicality of the wood with his own incised lines, echoing the grain pattern.
