Charles Sheeler: American Interiors
Paper, 76 pp., 55 black-and-white and color illus.
Catalogue for the exhibition, organized by Susan Fillin-Yeh, presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (April 1–May 31, 1987), with an essay by Fillin-Yeh.
Self-described jack-of-all-trades Charles Sheeler (1883–1965) was accomplished as a photographer, painter, and designer of fabrics and household items. Consistent across these activities was a reverence for everyday objects, and this catalogue illuminates a personal aesthetic that derived equally from Cubism and the wonderfully simple Shaker furniture that is included in this ambitious exhibition along with Sheeler’s own diverse and fascinating output.
