Colette Copeland

Colette Copeland, an A&H lecturer who teaches photography design and topics in studio art, recently published an essay in Glasstire about the “Avery style” discussing the Milton Avery exhibition at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Avery Legacy exhibition at the Jody Klotz Fine Art Gallery.

Copeland also wrote a catalog essay for the latter exhibition which features art of Sally Michel Avery and March Avery, Milton’s wife and daughter. Copeland explained that the “signature formal elements of the Avery style include innovative use of color, simplified forms, and a flattened pictorial plane in the compositions.”
