I had the same response when I first saw Milton Avery’s work. I think Jackson Pollock’s Number 8, which hangs in the Neuberger Museum, uses color better than many of his other paintings. People who love Mark Rothko certainly respond to his sense of color, which is evident in his Old Gold Over White, another purchase that I gave to the Neuberger. Sometimes it is a passionately strong use of color that attracts me, or sometimes it is a romantic subtlety, as in the various shades of green used by Georgia O’Keeffe in her haunting landscape, Lake George by Early Moonrise, evocative of Matisse’s use of various shades of one color.
Germain. The apartment was a four-minute walk to the Café des Deux Magots, where I joined a group of young people who gathered nearly • 6• Memories of Paris in the 1920s every day. We sat for hours and talked about ideas and art, as young people had done at that café for more than a century. But though I had friends and a romance or two, I did not have nearly the same pace of social life in Paris as I had in New York.

Like Matisse, he was a color magician, using simplified planes of color, though, in keeping with his New England background, Milton’s colors tended to be more sober. He has been compared not only to Matisse, but also to Turner, Bonnard, Monet, and Cezanne. Artists have been influenced by those who came before them since the era of cave paintings. Many artists have affected the styles of Raphael or of Michelangelo, perhaps the greatest artist who ever lived. There is no question that Avery was familiar with the works of earlier artists, including Matisse, but he was clearly his own person, an American original.
