Arthur Garfield Dove (August 2, 1880 – November 23, 1946) was an American artist.
An early American modernist, he is often considered the first American abstract painter.
Dove used a wide range of media, sometimes in unconventional combinations, to produce his abstractions and his abstract landscapes.
Me and the Moon from 1937 is a good example of an Arthur Dove abstract landscape and has been referred to as one of the culminating works of his career.
Dove did a series of experimental collage works in the 1920s.
He also experimented with techniques, combining paints like hand mixed oil or tempera over a wax emulsion as exemplified in Dove's 1938 painting Tanks, in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
