About the piece

Arthur Dove's 'Sentimental Music' (1913) is a pioneering work of American modernism that translates the abstract rhythm of sound into a visual landscape. The composition uses a sophisticated palette of dusty rose and charcoal to define organic, overlapping shapes that create a sense of movement and harmony.
