Charles Rettew Sheeler, Jr. – Monday 16 July 1883 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Friday 7 May 1965 Dobbs Ferry, New York
American Precisionist Painter and Photographer
I chose to feature this Sheeler work – Winter Window, 1941 – simply because I like the uncomplicated and uncluttered image with its straight lines and single object delineations of the foreground and middle ground. However, I do think that the top 25% of the painting does not add anything to the image and perhaps detracts from it.
Last Monday’s Artist - Édouard Manet
Next Monday’s Artist - Berthe Morisot
