Among the works on view is Milton Avery’s Gaspé Fishermen (1938), which belongs to a pivotal body of work the artist produced while summering on the Quebecois peninsula with his family. With the Gaspé paintings, Avery delved fully into the blocky, Cubist-inspired forms and closely valued colors that appeared only sporadically in his previous paintings. Works like Gaspé Fishermen, with its horizontal daubs of subtly shifting blues and pared-down figuration, directly influenced the portraits of Avery’s friend Marsden Hartley and prefigured the radical condensation of space in Avery’s later landscapes.
