“Bridge to the Sea,” a 1937 artwork by Milton Avery, emerges from the Expressionism and Post-Impressionism movements, and belongs to the landscape genre. The artwork depicts a serene landscape with two figures walking towards the seaside on a wooden bridge. The gentle hues of pastel colors, subtle detailing, and soft contrasts evoke a tranquil and dreamlike ambiance. The calm sea in the background harmonizes with the rolling hills and sky, creating a cohesive and soothing composition. Milton Avery’s use of simplified forms and minimalistic approach in “Bridge to the Sea” captures the essence of the scenery and evokes a profound sense of peace and contemplativeness.
