Charles Sheeler

Charles R. Sheeler (1883 - 1965) was active/lived in Pennsylvania, New York.  Charles Sheeler is known for Precisionist painting-architecture, landscape, interiors.

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 psychologically.

Sheeler was born in Philadelphia and studied there at the School of Industrial Art, from 1900/01 to 1901/02.  He was awarded Certificate A in Industrial Drawing in 1901, and Certificate B in Decorative Painting and Applied Art in 1902.  He then studied with William Merritt Chase at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1903 to 1906. 

He made several trips to Europe, several times traveling with Chase, and from 1908 to 1910 with Morton Schamberg.  On   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2637 characters.]  Artist bio
