Charles Sheeler

 Charles Sheeler (1883-1965) was both an American painter and photographer widely known for helping found American modernism. He began making his works of art in the twenties and continued to do so all the was through the fifties, and still remains rather popular today. He was incredibly into showcasing architecture and very common scenes in a home. As you can see above, he loved taking pictures of big cities such as New York. His photos are all tied together through their two very different yet consistent styles. One of them is the many pictures of various buildings that show the similarities and differences in architecture. The other displays various shots in different rooms and houses. Sheeler helped create a new and exciting style of art that revolutionized art all throughout the rest of century and even into today.
