Cruce de túneles transportadores, planta River Rouge, Ford Motor Company

1927
Not on view
Además de fotógrafo, Sheeler fue un pintor precisionista que apostó por el realismo. En su obra fotográfica, supo descubrir la armonía en las formas angulosas de la arquitectura estadounidense autóctona. Hizo una serie de fotografías de una fábrica de la Ford en las cercanías de Detroit por encargo de la propia empresa automovilística a través de una agencia de publicidad. Esta impresionante imagen de la utopía tecnológica, muy reproducida en Europa y Estados Unidos en los años veinte, se convirtió en un monumento al poder transcendente de la producción industrial en los albores de la era moderna.
