Arthur Dove was an American pioneer in abstract painting in the early 20th Century. He used the emotional power of color and line to express natural forms, sounds, and musical motifs. Dove once said, “Art is the form that the idea takes in the imagination rather than the form as it exists outside.” Whether studying weather fronts and radio waves, or creating landscape paintings and collages, the modernist sought the essence of the subject and strove to reveal it through his art. Georgia O’Keeffe credited Dove as the individual who had the most significant impact on her artistic development.
