    Through his abstract renderings of the natural world, Arthur Dove explored the capacity of painting to depict material phenomena that are not visible to the naked eye, including sound, wind, light waves, and gravitational pull. Rachael DeLue, professor of art history at Princeton University, considers Dove’s interest in articulating a pictorial language for translating the unseen into visual form, much as a scientist would translate a hypothesis or a theory and shows how his artistic project was intimately tied to larger cultural conversations in the early decades of the twentieth century about the subjects and methods of scientific inquiry and the nature of human cognition.
