Here is Arthur Dove's 1927 painting "George Gershwin: I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise." The painting hangs in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Dove also painted an homage to Irving Berlin.
With great thanks to Stefanie Green for this tip! Stefanie notes that other surprises in a recent Dove show include his paintings on metal, such as "Seagull Motif (Violet and Green)," with their fine lines and animated rhythms, and collages, such as "Goin' Fishin.'
