Documenting the artist's practice of more than 80 years, the book features three newly commissioned texts and some 200 images.\u003c\/p\u003eAvery was born in 1932 to the painters Milton Avery and Sally Michel, and began painting as a child. As she says, \"I think I was painting in utero.\" The dividing line between life and art was blurred during her upbringing, as is reflected in the subject matter of her work: everyday domestic scenes, portraits of friends and family members, and landscapes visited and revisited over the course of a lifetime.Avery's oil paintings, sketches and watercolors are known for their flat picture planes, interlocking shapes and simplicity of forms. The artist's mastery of colour brings life, immediacy of place and emotional depth to her compositions, as \u003ci\u003eMarch Avery: A Life in Color\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates, beautifully.The book also includes articles by writers\/critics Johanna Fateman, Lynne Tillman and John Yau, whose texts explore and animate Avery's life and work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarch Avery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarch Avery lives and works in New York.
