Arthur Dove

Artist, American, 1880 - 1946

The image consists of flowing and intersecting shapes in earth tones and blues, creating an abstract scene. A curved brown shape on the left transitions into darker, triangular forms. Contrasting blue and black areas on the right suggest the idea of a dark, moving body of water against an overcast sky.
