Trained both as an architect and painter, Morton Schamberg lived a
short but productive life, and earned a reputation for being a
visionary
who foresaw machines as both dehumanizing and contributing to good
living. Throughout his life, he was fascinated by what he
perceived as beauty in their shapes and lines, and in 1916 began a
series of still lifes paintings of machine objects. He was also
an accomplished photographer, concentrating primarily on portrait
subjects.
