Piano Mover’s Holiday 1919

Charles Demuth's "Piano Mover’s Holiday" (1919) is a prime example of Precisionism, an American art movement characterized by its geometric forms and its focus on industrial themes. The artwork depicts a simplified, stylized view of a factory, with sharply defined lines and bright colors. It is thought to be a depiction of a factory in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where Demuth's family moved when he was a child. Demuth's work often explores themes of industry, modern life, and the beauty found in everyday objects.
