More about this artwork

Arthur Dove's painting "The Brush Broom" is a captivating example of his abstract style, which breaks away from the traditional representations to explore forms and colors in a way that profoundly resonates with feelings and sensibilities. Created in 1921, this artwork reflects Dove's unique approach to capturing the essence of everyday objects through a more symbolic and emotive lens.In "The Brush Broom," Dove utilizes thick, tactile brushwork to depict what seems to be a broom. The central figure of the broom is painted with warm, earthy tones of browns that stretch upwards, while scattered brush strokes suggesting bristles fan out creating an explosion of textures at the top. These features are set against a muted background featuring soft whites intermingled with touches of blues and reds, giving an impression of a commonplace object ennobled through the artist’s expressive interpretation.The abstract nature of this painting encourages viewers to perceive familiar objects in new ways, contemplating on both form and the abstract qualities of color and composition that Dove so masterfully presents.
