Precisionism was an
artistic movement that emerged in the
United States after
World War I and was at its height during the inter-War period. The term itself was first coined in the early 1920s. Influenced strongly by
Cubism and
Futurism, its main themes included
industrialization and the modernization of the American landscape, which were depicted in precise, sharply defined, geometrical forms. There is a degree of reverence for the industrial age in the movement, but social commentary was not fundamental to the style. The degree of
abstraction in the movement ranged considerably (Sheeler's work was sometimes almost
photorealistic).
