Monday Morning Museum: Precisionism


Precisionism – America from the 1920s to the 1930s
Precisionism was the first indigenous modern-art movement in the United States and an early American contribution to the rise of Modernism. The Precisionist style, which first emerged after World War I and was at the height of its popularity during the 1920s and early 1930s, celebrated the new American landscape of skyscrapers, bridges, and factories in a form that has also been called "Cubist-Realism." – Wkipedia.org
In addition to Preston Dickinson (see art example below), other Precisionist are Charles Demuth and Charles Sheeler.
