Western Industrial 1954

"Western Industrial" (1954) by Charles Sheeler is a precise and geometric depiction of industrial structures, a hallmark of his Precisionist style. The painting's flat planes and simplified forms create a sense of order and stability, emphasizing the man-made world. Sheeler's use of strong, contrasting colors and sharp lines further highlights the architectural features, creating a visual language that both celebrates and distances the viewer from the industrial landscape.
