Arthur Wesley Dow's 1912 painting pairs two quiet colours in its title, and invites a slow, unhurried look.

Arthur Wesley Dow painted Lavender and Green in 1912, working in oil on canvas. Dow was an American painter, printmaker and photographer, and also taught art. The title points to a palette built around soft purple and green, and it suggests a work that rewards close attention to colour. The painting is held in the collection of the Dayton Art Institute, where it can be seen today.
On your wall: Its lavender and green tones would sit calmly in a bedroom, study or reading corner, especially where the surroundings are pale and uncluttered.

His varied practice shows an artist comfortable moving between different media, and it is this breadth that characterises his work.
