As an aphorism it seems to encapsulate the silent world of this prodigious artist whose method of communication was his canvas: it was not until 1952, at the age of 67, that Avery received his first full-scale retrospective museum exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art, giving him a level of exposure he had not yet experienced, despite having been active for nearly 40 years.\u003cbr\u003e And yet, this 'artist's artist' was revered by those who saw in him a master of colour, as his works graduated from early Impressionist landscapes, to the flattened forms of colour that critics say paved the way for the Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s. Summers spent in Provincetown in with Rothko and Gottlieb saw Avery turn the cerulean combination of water and beaches into broad fields of colour that magically converged in simplified representations of colours, \"leaving nothing but colour and pattern.\" Rothko would assert that Avery was America's greatest painter - \"his is the poetry of sheer loveliness\".\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledging that Avery remains an influential painter for today's generation of contemporary artists, this book is a rare European showcase, which features alongside work from a stellar cast of artists responding to Avery's work, which include his daughter March Avery and others who have drawn on his work as inspiration for their use of colour Henni Alftan, Harold Ancart, Andrew Cranston, Gary Hume, Jonas Wood, Nicolas Party.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52692544192785,"sku":"NGR9788857254548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53361333403921,"sku":"NIN9788857254548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53363569557777,"sku":"GOR014878984","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788857254548.jpg?v=1780567699"},{"product_id":"donald-sultan-flowers-book-edith-devaney-9780847877249","title":"Donald Sultan: Flowers","description":"Rising to prominence in the late 1970s as a leading figure in the 'New Image' movement, Sultan reimagined the traditional still-life genre by breaking down his subjects into bold, essential forms and constructing paintings from the same materials used to build the spaces they occupy. His signature combinations of enamel, roofing tar, aluminum, linoleum, and spackle, along with processes like gouging, sanding, and buffing, create works that feel at once monumental and meticulously refined. The result is a compelling tension: Sultan s flowers are instantly recognizable, yet their large-scale silhouettes and heavy, abstracted surfaces challenge the expectation of fragility often associated with botanical imagery.   Showcasing the full range of Sultan s artistic practice including his paintings, extensive printmaking, and works on paper this book presents a vivid survey of his career from the 1970s to today. Featured subjects include poppies, mimosas, tulips, camellias, and lantern flowers, underscoring the evolution of his imagery across decades. New essays explore the artist s relationship to key influences such as Andy Warhol and Jannis Kounellis, offering fresh insight into the conceptual and material foundations of Sultan s work. Together, these elements highlight how Sultan continues to push the boundaries of contemporary still life, transforming everyday motifs into powerful, industrially charged icons.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53506184282385,"sku":"NGR9780847877249","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780847877249.jpg?v=1781779134"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-edith-devaney.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
