Dove used a wide range of media, sometimes in unconventional combinations, to produce his abstractions and his abstract landscapes.In 1907, Dove and his first wife, Florence, traveled to France and moved to Paris, then the world's art capital.They made short trips to both Italy and Spain.While there, Dove joined a group of experimental artists from the United States, which included Alfred Henry Maurer. Dove and Maurer remained friends until Maurer's suicide in 1932. While in Europe, Dove was introduced to new painting styles, in particular the Fauvist works of Henri Matisse, and he exhibited at the annual Autumn Salon in 1908 and 1909. Feeling a clearer sense as an artist, he returned to New York. His return to commercial illustration was unsatisfying, so Dove moved out of New York to make a living off farming and fishing while devoting the rest of his time to painting His son, William C. Dove, was born on July 4, 1909./Private collection, no documentation.
