As a child, March Avery thought everyone in the world was a painter. “It never occurred to me that I’d be anything else,” she has said. This was during the 1930s, and her father, Milton, and her mother, Sally, were both painters. When she was a child they taught her, and as a young adult she became a home-schooled artist. To this day, Avery works with watercolors and oils, depicting quiet scenes of domestic life, landscapes and still lifes, in gobsmacking color. As her father was, she is a prominent colorist. This exhibition, her first in Tokyo, presents daily scenes with friends and family. —Elena Clavarino
