Story

Rounded, puffy cloud forms hover above a stretch of water where small sailboats drift, rendered in a palette of blue, white, brown, and green that simplifies sky and sea into soft curving shapes. The composition leans toward abstraction rather than realistic depiction of a shoreline scene. Arthur Dove created this piece in 1930. He was an American painter and draftsperson, living from 1880 to 1946.
