Was an American artist. An early American modernist, he was one of America's first abstract painters.Dove used a wide range of media, sometimes in unconventional combinations. Dove did a series of experimental collage works in the 1920s. He also experimented with techniques, combining paints like hand mixed oil or tempera over a wax emulsion. The pigments from the paint then bond to the wax molecules. Dove produced a group of collages and assemblages because it was cheaper than paint and lack of work space.[1] Phillips tells Dove to abandon collage and return to paint.[3] In 1937 Phillips purchased “Goin Fishin” for $2,000.00, the largest sum paid to that date for any of Doves work.[1] Phillips also purchased “Huntington Harbor 1.”[6] Dove produced about twenty-five assemblages between 1924 and 1930.[2
