Me and the Moon 1937

"Me and the Moon" is a 1937 painting by American artist Arthur Dove (1880-1946). This work is a prime example of Dove's abstract style and is considered an important piece of American modern art. The painting's simplified forms and use of color are evocative of a landscape, but the subject matter remains open to interpretation. The central, bright, yellow disc represents the moon, and the dark, flowing lines suggest the shapes of mountains or clouds. This piece is housed in the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC.
