Charles Sheeler (1883-1965) created paintings, lithographs, and photographs that reflected his aesthetic interest in industrial scenes of the early 20th-century American landscape. After training in industrial drawing, 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'' to reveal how the lines of industrial architecture structure psychological experience. The catalog includes an introduction by Carol Troyen.
