"At Evening" (1888) is a notable work by the American artist Arthur Wesley Dow, who is recognized for his significant contributions to the American Arts and Crafts Movement and his influence on modern art education. Dow, born in 1857 in Ipswich, Massachusetts, was a painter, printmaker, photographer, and influential teacher. His artistic philosophy emphasized the importance of composition and the harmonious arrangement of elements, which he believed were more crucial than the mere representation of subjects.

"At Evening" exemplifies Dow's innovative approach to art, which was heavily inspired by Japanese aesthetics, particularly the principles of design found in ukiyo-e woodblock prints. This influence is evident in Dow's use of simplified forms, balanced compositions, and a focus on the interplay of light and shadow. The painting captures a serene, twilight scene, characterized by its tranquil atmosphere and subtle gradations of color that evoke a sense of calm and introspection.

Dow's work during this period reflects his dedication to exploring new artistic techniques and his desire to move away from the traditional European academic styles that dominated American art at the time. Instead, he sought to create a uniquely American art form that drew from a diverse range of cultural influences. "At Evening" is a testament to this vision, showcasing Dow's ability to blend Eastern and Western artistic traditions seamlessly.

In addition to his artistic achievements, Dow was a pioneering educator who profoundly impacted the teaching of art in the United States. His book, "Composition: A Series of Exercises in Art Structure for the Use of Students and Teachers," published in 1899, became a seminal text in art education, advocating for a more holistic and creative approach to learning art. Through his work and teachings, Arthur Wesley Dow left an enduring legacy that continues to influence artists and educators today.
