Charles Demuth was a 20th century artist known for developing a style of painting known as Precisionism, also known as Cubist Realism. The main themes of the style reference the industrial movement, such as machinery, architecture, and industrialization, where all elements are specifically painted to fit into a particular space. Looking beyond what topic the artist is drawing, whether it be exotic flowers in a green house or a row of industrial buildings, the notion of capturing real objects, rearranging and reestablishing spacial grounds is the connection between Charles Demuth and our class assignment. Certain elements are blown up and other elements are shrunken, which produces an interesting composition with a variety of layers and depth.
