More about this artwork

Welcome to our exploration of "Tree Forms and Water" by Arthur Dove, a pivotal figure in American modernism. Painted around 1928, this artwork delves into the spectral realm of abstraction while subtly nodding to the natural elements its title suggests.In this painting, Dove transforms the visual experience of trees and water into a passionate array of colors and forms. The composition is distinguished by earthy tones and vivid contrasts, inviting viewers to interpret the elements through an imaginative lens. Bold reds and deep blues dominate, creating a dynamic interaction reminiscent of water reflecting the sky or the deep hues of a forest at twilight.The abstract shapes could represent a variety of natural elements, such as the fluidity of water juxtaposed against the solidity of trees. The irregular outlines suggest natural forms, morphing and blending into one another, much like the organic process of growth and decay in nature. Dove's use of color intensifies the emotional impact, with patches of bright white and shadowy purples adding depth and intrigue."Tree Forms and Water" exemplifies Dove's ability to communicate viscerally through color and form, moving beyond literal representation to express the essence of the natural world.

Arthur Dove was a Modernist American artist well known for landscapes and abstract paintings. Dove produced commercial illustration works for magazines including Harper’s Magazine. After returning from Paris, Dove met Alfred Stieglitz who mentored him. During his life, he created a number of inventive and distinguishing artworks using stylize abstract forms, often representing nature including sunrise, trees, water, waterfall, and thunderstorm. Dove’s fame continued to grow after his death. He is said to influence the first generation of Abstract Expressionists, such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.
