Early history and creation


Dove's work has significant musical influence. He was interested in music contemporary to his time, in particular jazz improvisation and the work of Igor Stravinsky. It is a product of Dove's interest in synesthesia. He and his friend Georgia O'Keeffe "wanted to be able to interpret the spirit of sound into paint."[2]

The work is an abstract depiction of musical instruments and the music that they create. Francine Prose described the painting as "sensual" and tells us that Dove found it "comparable to music" and "in 2/4 time".[3]


Influence


It is pastel on paperboard and considered part of the modernist movement.
