by Dove, Arthur Garfield (1880-1946); 90.17x116.84 (framed) 76.4x101.6 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Pine Tree exemplifies the spiritual kinship with nature that informed Arthur Doves paintings. He was not interested in literal representation. Instead, he looked to color, form, and line for ways to represent the essence or inner character of an object. Here the trees undulating trunk and limbs command much of the canvas, alluding to forms and forces in nature. Rhythm and growth are also suggested by the concentric bands of color that are repeated throughout the composition.); Leonard C. Hanna, Jr. Fund

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Arthur Dove's iconic painting, "Pine Tree, 1931" which showcases the artist's unique approach to capturing nature's essence. Rather than focusing on literal representation, Dove sought to convey the spiritual connection between humans and their natural surroundings. In this artwork, the undulating trunk and limbs of a pine tree dominate the canvas, evoking forms and forces found in nature. The use of color, form, and line becomes instrumental in representing the inner character of the subject matter. Concentric bands of color are repeated throughout the composition, suggesting rhythm and growth. Dove was an American modernist painter who played a significant role in shaping 20th-century art. His abstract style challenged traditional artistic conventions by emphasizing emotional expression over realistic depiction. Through his works like "Pine Tree" he aimed to evoke a sense of wonder and reverence for nature. This particular print is housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It serves as a testament to Dove's innovative approach to painting and his contribution to American modernism. The Leonard C. Hanna Jr. Fund facilitated its acquisition by the museum. Bridgeman Images has captured this stunning image from Fine Art Finder for enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Dove's mastery in merging abstraction with natural elements such as trees and branches within his oeuvre.
