Detailed Description

Precisionism was an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century in the United States. It was characterized by its clean lines, geometric forms, and accurate depictions of scenes from modern life. Precisionist artists sought to capture the essence of their subjects without superfluous detail. They believed that art should be based on precise observation and exactitude, and that it should be free of any expressive or emotional content. Some of the most famous Precisionist artists include Charles Sheeler, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Charles Demuth. Sheeler’s paintings often featured scenes of American industry, such as his famous work “American Landscape” (1930), which depicted the Ford Motor Company’s River Rouge Plant in Michigan. O’Keeffe’s Precisionist works include her series of paintings of New York City skyscrapers, such as “City Night” (1926). Demuth’s most famous Precisionist painting is “The Figure Five in Gold” (1928), which depicts a row of five numbers in a precise, geometric arrangement. Precisionism was one of the first truly American art movements, and its influence can still be seen in many works of art today.
