Convogliatori incrociati, stabilimento di River Rouge, Ford Motor Company

1927
Not on view
Sheeler, pittore precisionista di grande realismo oltre che fotografo, immancabilmente scopriva una coerenza armoniosa nelle forme definite con rigida precisione proprie dell’architettura americana. La serie di fotografie dello stabilimento Ford vicino a Detroit gli fu commissionata dalla casa automobilistica tramite un’agenzia pubblicitaria. Questa autorevole immagine di utopia tecnologica, ampiamente riprodotta in Europa e in America nel corso degli anni Venti, divenne un inno alla straordinaria potenza della produzione industriale all’inizio dell’età moderna.
