The artwork entitled “Green Chair,” created by the artist Milton Avery in the year 1944, is associated with the Cubism art movement and falls under the genre of still life.
The artwork depicts a green chair prominently positioned in the foreground. The chair is paired with a small, black side table, atop which rests a light-colored bowl of fruit and a decorated lampshade. Rearranged elements and simplified shapes reflect the influence of Cubism, characterized by Avery’s distinctive, muted color palette. Additionally, a framed picture with abstract shapes and warm colors adorns the wall behind the chair, integrating elements to convey a sense of tranquil domesticity.
