1927
Not on view
Além de fotógrafo, Sheeler era um pintor precisionista que apostou no realismo. Em sua obra fotográfica, foi capaz de descobrir a harmonia nas formas angulares da arquitetura americana nativa. Fez uma série de fotografias de uma fábrica da Ford, nas cercanias de Detroit, por encomenda da própria empresa através de uma agência de publicidade. Esta impressionante imagem da utopia tecnológica, muito reproduzida na Europa e nos Estados Unidos nos anos 1920, tornou-se um monumento ao poder transcendente da produção industrial no alvorecer da era moderna.
