In anticipation of the Super Blood Moon, we’re reviewing Arthur Dove’s 1936 diary. For a span of three months, he sketched enigmatic circles. Perhaps the multi-colored shadings were Dove’s system for tracking the phases of the moon. Shortly after the diary ended, Dove depicted the moon in two paintings, The Moon Was Laughing at Me and Me and the Moon. Page through the diary on our website at http://s.si.edu/2npCTRT
