SHEELER, Charles
Charles Sheeler (1883–1965) was a pioneering American artist best known for his work in Precisionism, but he also made a significant, if often overlooked, contribution to printmaking. Trained as a painter and photographer, Sheeler brought a meticulous, industrial aesthetic to his prints, often depicting factories, machinery, and urban architecture with crisp, geometric clarity. His printmaking, particularly in lithography and etching, reflected the same modernist sensibility found in his paintings, celebrating the mechanical beauty of 20th-century America. Through limited but influential print work, Sheeler helped legitimize industrial subjects in fine art, bridging photography’s realism with printmaking’s tactile nuance.
