Writing in 1982, Avery reflected that “Landscape has been a continuous theme in my work though the images come more from the ‘inner eye’ than from any objective view of Nature. In one way they are a digest of the Devonshire scenes that impressed in childhood; in another way they are of a mythical landscape where inner and outer reality meet.”
