A Closer Look at Arthur Wesley Dow's Cosmic Cities
Let’s take a closer look at Arthur Wesley Dow’s Cosmic Cities. (What a name, hey!) Dow was an American artist and teacher, though it seems he is more known for his teaching. One of his students was Jane Peterson, who I wrote about last month. He also taught Georgia O'Keeffe. But enough about his students.
