Arthur Garfield Dove (American, 1880-1946) Attributed: Abstract Landscape.  Oil on canvas, framed.

Arthur Dove is credited as being the first innovative abstract painter in America.  Many of his abstractions showed obvious Oriental influence and were derived from landscape and organic subjects with color used freely and calligraphic line emphasizing energy or force.  Generally his method was to make watercolor sketches outdoors and later oil paintings in his studio.
