Elsie Driggs, of Hartford, Connecticut, is best known as a
precisionist* painter who, in the 1920s, responded to the clean,
abstract beauty of the machine age in geometrically simplified
compositions. Driggs studied at the Art Students League* (1919
1925), and with Maurice Sterne in Rome.
Her romantic feelings
about industrial forms were part of the general optimism during the
booming prosperity of the 1920s. Her painting, Pittsburgh
(1928), was inspired by a tr (showing 500 of 1623 characters). |
