This is a study of the Precisionist movement, which developed in the United States between the two World wars. The Precisionists - a group of painters and photographers including Charles Sheeler, Georgia O'Keefe, Charles Demuth, and Joseph Stella - were among the first artists to adapt realist styles to the geometric forms of the machine age. They, along with Ralston Crawford, Paul Strand, Alfred Steiglitz, Elsie Driggs, Paul Outerbridge, and Virginia Berresford, among others, also spearheaded the revival of interest in America's folk- and applied-art traditions.
