African American art in the 20th century encompasses diverse subjects in a variety of genres, from representational to modern abstraction constantly reflecting the American experience through their eyes.

Episode 15

They say good things come in small packages….so we are dedicating our video and accompanying catalogue to “Small Gems.” These small works create a symphony by merging colors, space and light all in scale. Scale is not dependent on size and shows that the smaller end of the spectrum can most certainly contain expansive strength. Smaller works pull our eyes at first into their space, asserting themselves within……a kind of intimate glance into a private world.

Sally Michel & March Avery: The Avery Style: Episode 20

It is without question that all three Avery’s are outstanding colorists. Their collective uniqueness has consisted of vivid and fauvist colors, hues that one can’t put an actual name to, simple shapes, flattened surfaces and abstracted figures all painted in a technique of washy thinned out paint surfaces known as “The Avery Style”.
