Arthur Garfield Dove (August 2, 1880 – November 23, 1946) was an American artist. An early American modernist, he was one of America's first abstract painters.Dove was born to a wealthy family in Canandaigua, New York. His parents, William George and Anna Elizabeth, were of English ancestry. William Dove was interested in politics and named Arthur Garfield, after the soon-to-be-elected Republican Vice President, Chester Arthur and Presidential candidate James Garfield of the 1880 election. Arthur Dove grew up loving the outdoors on a farm; however, his father was a very successful businessman who owned a brickyard (along with city real estate) and expected his son to become wealthy. Dove's childhood interests included playing the piano, painting lessons, and being a pitcher on a high school baseball team. As a child, he was befriended by a neighbor named Newton Weatherby. Weatherby was a naturalist who helped form Dove's appreciation of nature. He was also an amateur painter who gave Dove pieces of leftover canvas to work with.
