Perhaps best-known for his Precisionist canvases of industrial complexes and factory buildings, Charles Sheeler's photographs were extremely important in the development of modernism.
This image is a masterpiece, taken during the period when Sheeler was photographing barns in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near the Doylestown farmhouse he shared with his close friend Morton Schamberg. The barn wall has been flattened and simplified to create an elegant abstraction, here in its purest form. In variant printings of the image, Sheeler left visible more of the shingle roof at the top of the image and the chicken at the bottom.
This print is quite exceptional. Sheeler is known to have mounted only his finest prints and this one is accompanied by its original mount.
