Expressionism
1927
38.0 x 50.0 cm
Hand Sewing Machine is one of twenty-five mixed-media works that Dove created during the 1920s. The machine is painted on a sheet of aluminum, whose dull silver surface remains visible in certain areas. The fabric being stitched is an actual piece of linen. A hand-operated sewing machine such as this one would have already been considered old-fashioned by the 1920s. However, Dove and his wife owned one and used it in their daily lives.
Arthur Garfield Dove (1880 – 1946)
Arthur Garfield Dove was an American pioneer of abstract art, known for his evocative landscapes and early explorations of non-representational forms, shaping modernism in the US.
