Addressing the role of human beings under increased \u003cbr\u003eautomation and mechanization, Andrea Diederichs includes the social \u003cbr\u003edimension of the machine age in her investigations. In this way, she \u003cbr\u003eundertakes a fundamental revision of the prevailing, one-dimensional \u003cbr\u003ereading of Precisionism. It becomes clear that Charles Sheeler's, George\u003cbr\u003e Ault's or Niles Spencer's industrial subjects are characterized by \u003cbr\u003eambivalence and ideology-critical tendencies relating to the new \u003cbr\u003econditions of labor under the dictates of the machine, and document the \u003cbr\u003eresultant physical and psychological consequences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-evaluation of the work\u003cbr\u003eof Charles Sheeler and his contemporaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst investigation into\u003cbr\u003ethe industrial depictions of Precisionism in an industrial- psychological\u003cbr\u003econtext\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrea Diederichs, \u003c\/strong\u003e art historian, Trier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 6.6 x 9.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47473541087410,"sku":"9783110769456","price":131.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/acb8b276b3527b45b05c4bf83d7d4ae2.webp?v=1779129995","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/broken-myths-charles-sheelers-industrial-landscapes-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
