Untitled is a 1928 ink by Charles Sheeler, depicting Factory, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a factory wall in sharp black and white—brick, pipes, and a single ladder climbing up. Sheeler worked in a car plant to pay for art school. He later said he liked the way machines looked “clean and new.” This print is one of a series he made of the same corner, almost like a scientist studying a specimen. If you like this, look up lithography to see how ink sticks to stone.
Charles Sheeler (July 16, 1883 – May 7, 1965) was an American artist known for his Precisionist paintings, commercial photography, and the 1921 avant-garde film, Manhatta, which he made in collaboration with Paul Strand.
