Artforum reviews Milton Avery at The Modern, Fort Worth

'The people, places, and things on display in the Milton Avery survey here are free of pomp and circumstance. Viewed in today’s divisive times, Avery’s take on simple pleasures is a warm respite. The painter defied artistic labels and remains a profound influence on generations of imagemakers. To see his wide, varied body of work in one setting is the perfect cocktail of leisure, serenity, and demystification to chase down the anxieties waiting for us outside. Avery’s delicate portraits favor color over form, light over theory.' – Lee Escobedo
