Arthur Garfield Dove
Space Divided by Line Motive, 1943
Although his images were nearly always tied to the land and the sea he loved, Dove's works were often non-representational. Space Divided by Line Motive, composed of large, interlocking planes of unmodulated color, is typical of the artist's most abstract works, created in the years just before his death. It recalls the artist's 1913 statement that he "remember[ed] certain sensations purely through their form and color... by certain shapes, planes of light, or character lines determined by the meeting of such planes." |
