On view Upper East Gallery Manhattan: Milton Avery % KNOEDLER: "Industrial Revelations" until may 1st

Studio View (Chop Suey), ca. 1930s
Watercolor on paper, 22 1/8 x 15 1/4 inches

A close look at the little-known early works presented in Milton Avery: Industrial Revelations makes evident for the first time that Avery was an attentive observer of the immense technological changes that were taking place in the American economy and in society from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s. Although Avery did occasionally exhibit some of this output, scholars and critics have tended to overlook this thread in his work, in favor of themes of leisure, nature, and the figure that anticipate his later development. Since Avery’s industrial images remained little known, they are absent from major studies of America and the machine age, the term often used to characterize the period between the two world wars. —Gail Levin (2010)
