Cult of the machine : precisionism and American art : [de Young Museum, San Francisco, March 24-August 12, 2018, Dallas Museum of Art, September 16, 2018-January 6, 2019]"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 Precisionist aesthetic 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." --> na zavihku ov.Type of material - catalogue ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - San Francisco : Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco ; London ; New Haven : Yale University Press, cop. 2018Language - englishISBN - 978-0-300-23402-2COBISS.SI-ID - 949999
