"Goin' Fishin'" is a collage created by Arthur G. Dove in 1925. Collage is an artistic technique where various materials, such as paper, fabric, or found objects, are applied to a surface, often in combination with painting. Dove, an American painter and one of the earliest nonobjective artists, used a variety of materials in his collages to create ironic images. His work, including "Goin' Fishin'," exemplifies how collage can be used to express abstract ideas and emotions through the assembly of disparate elements.12
