This gelatin silver print by American artist Charles Sheeler is one of several images he created while experimenting with the modernist ideas he'd discovered in the breakthrough work of artists like Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso. We'll find out how these experimental images, created in an old country house in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, led to Sheeler becoming one of the most innovative and important American artists. (By the way, Bucks County is lovely, I highly recommend visiting!) And we'll discover his connection to Vogue and Vanity Fair!
