Arthur (Garfield) Dove - Selected works, Selected list of works

Painter, born in Canadaigua, New York, USA. From 1903 he earned his living as a commercial illustrator.

Arthur Garfield Dove (August 2, 1880 – November 23, 1946) was an American artist.

Dove was born to a wealthy family in Canandaigua, New York.

In 1907, Dove and his wife traveled to France.

Dove returned to America in 1909 and met Alfred Stiegltiz.

Dove's work was based on nature and he referred to his form of abstraction as "extraction," pulling the abstract forms out from a landscape.

In spite of support from various members of the art community, it was often necessary for Dove to earn money through farming, fishing and commercial illustration.

He spent a seven year period on a houseboat called Mona after separating from his first wife in 1920.
