About this work

This sketch shows a wavy, black line that looks like a river cutting through a landscape. The background is light, with faint outlines of hills and trees drawn in soft pencil strokes. The paper has a pinkish tint, and the whole thing feels quick and loose, like it was made fast. The artist signed it "Milton Avery" in the corner, dated 1963. The lines are rough but confident, almost like scribbles that still somehow look intentional. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists use this printmaking technique.
