Biography
Charles Sheeler shaped American modernism through precision in both his paintings and photography, capturing the stark beauty of industrial landscapes and the quiet power of everyday forms.
His work, blending realism with an almost architectural clarity, inspired generations of artists to see artistry in the modern world, and he is celebrated for that vision at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
