What is "precisionism"?
Precisionism was an art movement in the United States during the 1910s and 1920s that focused on depicting the modern industrial world with sharp, clear lines and accurate details. Artists such as Charles Demuth and Georgia O'Keeffe used geometric shapes and clean forms to emphasize the beauty and structure of machinery, architecture, and city landscapes. Precisionism aimed to covey the basic nature of the modern age through a neat and orderly style, often emphasizing the smooth, organized aspects of industrial and city settings. The movement appreciated the clarity and order of modern life while avoiding the emotional or abstract elements of earlier modernist styles.
