...America's first abstract painters, Arthur Dove, set up his version of the modernist hope. To visit the traveling retrospective show of 70 Dove paintings and collages that Art Historian Barbara Haskell organized for the San Francisco Museum of Art (it opens this week at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo) is to sense how difficult that ambition must have been for an American of his generation...
Bill, 65, is having his first full dress retrospective in the U.S., organized by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo. The Albright-Knox is the only museum in America to have systematically collected his work; other institutions, like Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, have all but ignored this superb but very un-American stylistic puritan.

It reveals no thin eclectic, but a painter of extraordinary robustness and sensitivity. Halfway through the show one realizes the irony of his situation in the 1950s: that an artist criticized as an appendage to Europe should have made such advances amidst the general flabbiness that the School...
