| Born in Philadelphia, Charles Sheeler created paintings, a few
lithographs, and photographs that reflected his aesthetic interest in
industrial
scenes of the early 20th-century American landscape. He became
the major exponent of Precisionism, a style of painting that emphasizes
clean-cut lines, simple
forms and large areas of flat color---creating a sense of order and
'precision', and a suggestion that the lines of those industrial
structures cut through people lives psychologicall (showing 500 of 2639 characters). |
