in collaboration with William C. Agee and Elizabeth Hutton
Turner The American artist Arthur Dove (1880-1946), purportedly the
first artist to have produced an abstract painting, has always
occupied a central place in writings on early American modernism.
This book accompanies the first major exhibition on Dove since
1974. The exhibition, organized by the Addison Gallery of American
Art and the Phillips Collection, covers the period from 1908, the
year after Dove took up painting, through 1946, the year of his
death. It is comprised of approximately eighty paintings, collages,
pastels, and charcoal drawings.Along with Georgia O'Keeffe and John
Marin, Dove was touted for more than three decades by photographer
and dealer Alfred Stieglitz as an American original, one whose work
was prescient in its opposition to the materialism of a newly
industrialized America. Essays by Balken, Agee, and Turner discuss
Dove's interactions with Stieglitz and others in his circle,
including O'Keeffe, Marin, Marsden Hartley, and Paul Strand, and
re-examine Dove in the context of early twentieth-century
intellectual and cultural history. The book contains color plates
of all the works in the exhibition; the essays are profusely
illustrated with black-and-white images not included in the
exhibition. Apart from an out-of-print catalogue raisonne, this
book is the largest and most comprehensive publication to date on
Dove's work.Copublished with the Addison Gallery of American Art in
association with the Phillips Collection"
