Morning Sun 1935

"Morning Sun" is an abstract landscape painting created in 1935 by Arthur Dove. It is a striking depiction of a field bathed in the golden light of the morning sun. Dove's signature style is evident in the simplified forms and vibrant color palette, echoing the abstract expressionism of the 1930s. The sun, a bright yellow orb, dominates the upper portion of the canvas, its rays reaching down to the field, symbolizing the dawn of a new day. The composition is a compelling blend of naturalism and abstraction, with a subtle sense of dynamism created by the sun's rays and the undulating field. The simplified forms and vibrant hues evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, making "Morning Sun" a poignant and beautiful representation of nature's awakening.
