This catalog, which accompanied a summer 2009 exhibition at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA, is the first book to explore the interrelationship between the work of artists Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) and Arthur Dove (1880-1946V O'Keeffe and Dove rejected European modernist movements such as impressionism and cubism in favor of a more American modernism that reflected the beauty and simplicity of the natural world. Balken (After Many Springs: Regionalism, Modernism, and the Midwest), curator of the exhibition, explores O'Keeffe's and Dove's influence on each other's output and career from 1914, when O'Keeffe firstrnsaw a reproduction of Dove's work, through the 1930s, when Dove began producing wa-tercolors spurred by his memory of viewing O'Keeffe's at Alfred Stieglitz's 291 Gallery in 1917. The two artists' work is reproduced in 139 color illustrations.
