The artwork titled “Advancing Sea” was created by the artist Milton Avery in the year 1953. This piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is classified within the marina genre.
The artwork presents a striking composition featuring a central dark form, possibly representing an island or landmass, surrounded by an energetic depiction of white and dark swirling waves, suggestive of turbulent sea conditions. The palette used is subdued, with a contrast between the calm background in light hues and the intense central figure. The technique employs broad strokes and outlines that convey a sense of movement and fluidity, characteristic of the Expressionist approach, capturing an emotional essence of the maritime subject.
