Avery Milton Clark (1893-1965).

U.S. figurative artist who continued and developed Matisse's abstracting tendencies and flat colour masses. Starkness of presentation and force and clarity of images in works like Mother and Child (1944), Swimmers and Snnbalhers (1945), organized in areas of pure colour, anticipate the Abstract Expressionists: he was greatly admired by *Cottlieb, *Hofmann and Rothko.
