Characterized by highly structured, geometric compositions with smooth surfaces, linear qualities, and lucid forms, Precisionism fully emerged after World War I and flourished in the 1920s and 1930s. This insightful publication, featuring more than 100 masterworks by artists such as Charles Sheeler, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Charles Demuth, sheds new light on the Precisionistaesthetic and the intellectual concerns, excitement, tensions, and ambivalences about industrialization that helped develop this important strand of early American modernism.
Essays explore the origins of the style--which reconciled realism with abstraction and adapted European art movements like Purism, Cubism, and Futurism to American subject matter--as well as its relationship to photography, and the ways in which it reflected the economic and social changes brought about by industrialization and technology in the post-World War I world. In addition to making a meaningful contribution to the resurging interest in Modernism and its revisionist narratives, this book offers copious connections between the past and our present day, poised on the verge of a fourth industrial revolution"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Issued in connection with an exhibition held Mar. 24-Aug. 12, 2018, de Young Museum, San Francisco, California, and Sept. 16, 2018-Jan. 1, 2019, Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, Texas. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Engineers of an American art : Precisionism in the machine age / Emma Acker -- The absence of presence in the precisionist city / Sue Canterbury -- Confronting the colossus : two artists face the steel mill / Lauren Palmor -- 'No ideas but in things' : Precisionism and the scandal of modernity / Adrian Daub -- Catalogue of the exhibition -- Timeline : American art, technology, and industry, 1910-1950. 650 0 $a Precisionism $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art and industry $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art and society $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a ART $x Modern (late 19th Century to 1945) $x Modern (late 19th Century to 1945) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART $x Criticism & Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x 20th Century. $x 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Art and industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815398 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Precisionism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074978 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Acker, Emma, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Canterbury, Sue, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Daub, Adrian, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Palmor, Lauren, $e contributor. 710 2 $a M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Dallas Museum of Art, $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213021559.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A469CDB4580511E8A8F83C5097128E48
