Sally Michel: Brilliant Legacy

Sally Michel: Brilliant Legacy

Emerging from New York’s art scene of the Great Depression was the distinctive style developed by a remarkable couple: Sally Michel (1902-2003) and Milton Avery (1885-1965). Variously called Realist-Abstraction or Color Field Realism, their idiosyncratic look combined a fidelity to the observed world with geometric simplicity. They painted quotidian vignettes of people and nature in unexpected swaths of vivid color. Organized by the Mennello Museum of American Art (Orlando, FL; and originally presented there as Sally Michel, Abstracting Tonalism), this exhibition and catalogue form the first major monographic project on Sally Michel’s work prepared in the new millennium.

Museum Hours: Wednesday – Sunday 11:00AM to 5:00PM.

Museum admission: General admission $12; children 3-17, seniors, students under 25 with ID $8. Children 2 and under and active military + 5 family members free.
