Hand Sewing Machine
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 Dove var en pioner innen amerikansk abstrakt kunst, kjent for sine kraftfulde landskapsmalerier og tidlige utforsking av ikke-representasjonelle former, som formet modernismen i USA.
