Collected in three volumes, this is the highly anticipated, definitive reference on Stuart Daviss paintings, watercolors, drawings, and published illustrations.

The first book to focus exclusively on the luminous watercolors and pastels of the American artist Arthur Dove (1880-1946), this volume explores the contributions of these mediums to the development of Dove's distinctive, abstract images of the American landscape. Dove's landmark pastel series of 1911-12, The Ten Commandments, represents American modernism's first breakthrough into abstraction. His subsequent pastels of the 1910s and 1920s provided him with stylistic innovations he later adapted in his oil paintings.
