"description": "Arthur Dove\u2019s love of nature deeply informed his work. As evident in Pine Tree, he rendered his subjects through abstracted form, rather than literal description. Here, the artist reconfigured the tree\u2019s gnarled branches as rhythmically undulating shapes, and transformed its spiky needles into playfully jagged outlines. Most dramatically, three male pine cones, laden with pollen, appear as flame-like bursts.",
