The first major exhibition of photographs by the American artist Charles Sheeler (1883–1965), this show includes work from each of the artist's major photographic series, from the rough-hewn surfaces of his Doylestown house to the Manhattan skyline, from the swelling forms of a nude body to the industrial landscape of an automotive works. Also included are a number of Sheeler's little-known late photographs, which were employed in place of traditional sketches as "notes in shorthand" for his paintings of the 1940s and 1950s.
