米尔顿·艾弗里：潦倒半生死后成为美国画坛偶像

米尔顿·艾弗里（Milton Avery），美国现代画家，1885年出生于纽约阿尔特马，1898年移居康涅狄格州，后来移居纽约市。
米尔顿·艾弗里的时代，正值抽象表现主义和现实写实主义在美国兴起，所以他的作品没有被当时的学者认可。
尽管今天他的售价很高，一幅画在拍卖中可以轻松拍到3万到500万美元，但他一生中很少出售作品。艾弗里画得如此冷酷无情也许是有道理的，因为他是一个经常被死亡和贫穷所困扰的人，他已习惯面对逆境。在他50岁定居纽约的时候，几乎还是无人认可他。直到1935年他才开始和画廊合作，销售作品。
1949年，艾弗里心脏病发作后卖不出作品，这事一直困扰他，直到他患上心绞痛，一种从未消退的慢性胸痛。
尽管艾弗里的销售和健康状况都不佳，但评论家和其它艺术家同行们仍然对他充满爱意。1957年12月，极富影响力的艺术评论家克莱门特·格林伯格（Clement Greenberg）在《艺术杂志》上写了一篇关于艾弗里的文章，改变了他的职业道路。
1962年秋天，米尔顿·艾弗里第二次心脏病发作，不可逆转地损害了他的健康。1964年二月，他在睡梦中死去。

罗斯科曾经说：“他是伟大的诗人，因为他的画面就像诗集，充满宁静、甜美、质朴。他是诗人中的探索者，强有力地表达着他的内心世界。”
