Arthur Dove - Always Connect

This book takes on the American artist Arthur Dove's life in the studio, working away with the radio crackling, records playing, thermometers and barometers on the wall spiking and plunging, clocks ticking, telephones ringing. DeLue is particularly interested in Dove's later work--the art he produced starting in the 1920s--when he became fascinated with scientific and technological advances that were becoming commonplace. For example, sound technology was rapidly evolving in the shape of commercial radio broadcasting, talkies, records, and music itself. Dove was obsessed with the science, the materiality, of sound, and he used it as a tool in developing many paintings.
