Dove's oils, water colors now at An American Place

Distinguished American painter showing work for 1934 in New York City—what constitutes his truly native quality?—representative canvases from 1914 to present

New oils and water colors, together with representative canvases from 1914 to 1934, make up the Arthur G. Dove exhibition which opened at An American Place, 509 Madison Avenue, New York City, last week. One of the most distinguished and sincere of contemporary American painters, Dove has been prevented during the past year from devoting himself completely to his work. Hence the harvest this year is somewhat smaller than usual; the product however is typically Dove, with his rich color, exuberant humor and keen sense of the abstract.

The obvious charm of Dove makes it amazing that this painter, who has been hard at work now for over a quarter of a century, has never won the public as might have been expected. he has color, wit, a superb sense of fun, poetry, suavity, sensitiveness, tenderness. He has, some one has said, that American tang (and twang) which Mark Twain had. He has an inventiveness, in the use of materials which anticipated the surrealists.
