Convoyeurs entrecroisés, usine de River Rouge, Ford Motor Company

1927
Not on view
Peintre précisionniste et photographe d’un courant très réaliste, Charles Sheeler savait mettre en évidence les formes et les lignes pures propres à l’architecture américaine. C’est le constructeur automobile Ford qui avait commandé cette série de photographies de ses usines de Détroit, par l’intermédiaire d’une agence de publicité. Largement reproduite en Europe et en Amérique dans les années 1920, cette puissante image de l’utopie technologique devint un monument au pouvoir transcendant de la production industrielle des débuts de l’ère moderne.
