Arthur Wesley Dow (1857-1922) was a painter, printmaker, and writer, much influenced by Japanese art. Although known as mentor to Georgia O'Keeffe and Max Weber, Dow's legacy as a proponent of modern art has been neglected. His COMPOSITION, first published in 1899, teaches students to create freely constructed images on the basis of harmonic relations between lines, colors, and dark and light patterns. 8 color and 150 bandw illustrations.
