Precisionism is an American art movement that emerged in the 1920s, characterized by its focus on modern industrial subjects and a clear, precise style. Artists aimed to depict the beauty of machinery, architecture, and urban landscapes, often using sharp lines and geometric forms. This movement is seen as a response to the rapid industrialization of the United States. Key figures in Precisionism include artists like Charles Sheeler and Georgia O'Keeffe, who emphasized clarity and order in their works. The movement reflects a fascination with technology and the changing American landscape, celebrating both the progress and the aesthetic qualities of modern life.
