Arthur Dove
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.〔.〕 Arthur Dove used a wide range of media, sometimes in unconventional combinations to produce his abstractions and his abstract landscapes. ''Me and the Moon''〔(''Me and the Moon'', The Phillips Collection, Washington DC )〕 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.〔(Archives of American Art )〕 Dove did a series of experimental collage works in the 1920s.〔(Phillips Collection )〕 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.〔(Boston Museum of Fine Arts )〕
== Youth and education ==
Dove was born to a wealthy family in Canandaigua, New York. His parents, William George and Anna Elizabeth, were of English ancestry. William Dove was interested in politics and named his son Arthur Garfield, after the Republican candidates for President and Vice-President in the 1880 election, James Garfield and Chester Arthur, who ultimately won the vote.〔.〕〔.〕 Arthur Dove grew up loving the outdoors on a farm; however, his father was a very successful businessman who owned a brickyard (along with city real estate) and expected his son to become wealthy.〔.〕 Dove's childhood interests included playing the piano, painting lessons, and being a pitcher on a high school baseball team.〔 As a child, he was befriended by a neighbor, Newton Weatherby, a naturalist who helped form Dove's appreciation of nature. Weatherby was also an amateur painter who gave Dove pieces of leftover canvas to work with.
Dove attended Hobart College and Cornell University, and graduated from Cornell in 1903.〔 Dove was chosen to illustrate the Cornell University yearbook. Dove's illustrations proved popular because they brought life to the characters and situations they depicted.〔 After graduation, he became a well known commercial illustrator in New York City, working for ''Harper's Magazine'' and ''The Saturday Evening Post''.〔 Dove's parents were upset at his choice to become an artist, instead of a more profitable profession that his Ivy League degree would have enabled, and they would prove unsympathetic to the difficulties that came with a career in art.〔.〕
