Charles Sheeler.
Biography
Sheeler painted what others photographed. Trained first as a commercial photographer in Philadelphia, he carried the camera's rigour into a body of paintings that turned the American factory into a cathedral, without ever losing its industrial cold.
Pearl Street Gallery has represented the estate's painting and photography holdings since 2020, with the 2023 group show Hopper / Sheeler the first sustained pairing in twenty years.
