Milton Avery
United States 1885 - 1965
Two Women Playing Cards
1944
AI Overview:
Milton Avery's Two Women Playing Cards (1944) is a significant work from his mature period, showcasing his characteristic simplified forms, luminous colors, and intimate subject matter, where he uses planes of color to create emotional depth and tranquility, foreshadowing later color field abstraction and influencing artists like Rothko, while depicting figures with anonymous faces that invite universal connection. This oil on canvas, sometimes titled Card Game, features two figures in a serene setting, defined by soft hues and contrasting tones, embodying Avery's unique blend of representation and abstraction.
Color & Form: Avery uses broad, flat areas of color (blues, oranges, pinks, greens) to define space and mood, rather than detailed realism, simplifying the figures and background.
Atmosphere: The colors create a peaceful, leisure-filled atmosphere, evoking a sense of quiet intimacy and emotional resonance.
Blank Faces: Like many of his figures, the women have simplified, blank faces, allowing viewers to project emotions and connect with the universal experience rather than a specific person, a technique inspired by Matisse.
Influence: This painting exemplifies Avery's role as a precursor to the Color Field movement, demonstrating how color alone could carry significant meaning and structure.
Milestone: Painted in 1944, this piece reflects Avery's move towards greater abstraction and the expressive power of color, noted by his wife Sally M. Avery as a period where he pared down details to focus on the painting's experience.
Legacy: Avery's innovative use of color and form profoundly influenced Abstract Expressionists like Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb, as well as later figurative painters like Alex Katz.

The Mint Museum is the largest visual arts institution in Charlotte and holds the largest public collection of Charlotte-born artist Romare Bearden's work.
The American Art collection comprises approximately 900 works created between the late 1700s and circa 1945. It includes portraiture of the Federal era, 19th century landscapes, and paintings from the group known as "The Eight" (Robert Henri, George Luks, William Glackens, John Sloan, Everett Shinn, Maurice Prendergast, Ernest Lawson, and Arthur Bowen Davies). Additional highlights in this area include works by John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Sully, and Hudson River School painters Thomas Cole and Sanford Gifford.
The Art of the Ancient Americas collection includes roughly 2,000 objects from more than 40 cultures, spanning more than 4,500 years. The collection includes body adornments, tools, ceramic vessels, sculpture, textiles, and metal ornaments.
There are about 2,230 objects in the Mint's collection of Contemporary Art. These include the Bearden collection and other works on paper, contemporary sculpture, and photography from circa 1945 to the present.
The Mint's Decorative Arts collection, considered one of the finest in the country, centers on its holdings in ceramics. Containing more than 12,000 objects from 2000 B.C. to 1950 A.D., the collection includes a wide variety of ancient Chinese ceramics, 18th century European and English wares, American art pottery, and North Carolina pottery. The Mint has the largest and most comprehensive collection of North Carolina pottery in the nation. Its collection of North Carolina pottery comprises some 2,200 objects, dating from the 1700s.
The museum's Delhom collection, given to the Mint in 1966, contains 2,000 pieces of historic pottery and porcelain, as well as pre-Columbian pieces that are more than 4,500 years old.
Almost 10,000 items of men's, women's, and children's fashions from the early 18th century to present-day haute couture are included in the museum's collection of Historic Costume and Fashionable Dress, which approaches fashion as an art form.
