Mountain and Sky

Arthur Dove

ca. 1925 · Oil on wood panel · Modern and Contemporary Art

This painting demonstrates Dove's facility for creating highly abstracted images based on forms and rhythms he saw in nature. Among the painters and photographers of the Stieglitz circle Dove was perhaps the earliest and most persistent devotee of abstraction.
