    Precisionism, a roughly century-old modernist American art movement related to cubism, is a strong influence here. Its practitioners included Joseph Stella, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Charles Demuth. Paul Strand was probably the most prominent precisionist photographer.

    Precisionism is concerned with structure and geometry as well as the relationship between humans, machines, and the industrial landscape.

    I’m interested in how the precisionists might interpret the world as it’s become today.

      @[email protected] Strand’s work reminds me so much of Dorothea Lange’s. Her philosophy seems different to me, though, although I admit the Precisionist movement is a new idea to me. Would you consider her part of the movement?

        @[email protected] I think she considered herself more of a journalist and portraitist.

          @[email protected] (But I agree that her compositions suggest much more than that)

            @[email protected] I agree 100% on both counts.
