The artwork titled “Birds Over Sky” by Milton Avery, created in 1957, exemplifies the Expressionism art movement within the landscape genre. In the artwork, Avery employs a minimalist yet evocative style to depict a serene natural scene. The composition features a backdrop of a vast expanse of blue, likely representing the sky or a body of water, above which soar a group of abstractly rendered white birds. These avian figures emerge prominently against the pastel-hued sky, lending a sense of freedom and tranquility to the overall piece. Beneath them, a series of sparse, vertical elements in darker hues suggest vegetation or structures, offering a subtle grounding to the expansive scene. The abstraction and simplicity characteristic of Avery’s style invite contemplation and a deep appreciation for the serene beauty of nature.
