About

The Photographs (Volume II) surveys Sheeler's photographic career in unprecedented depth, extolling the significance of his contribution to the development of the medium as an art form. Drawing largely from the Lane Collection, this definitive treatment explores the photographers seminal series on his Doylestown house, the Chartres Cathedral, and the River Rouge plant- each show in its entirety- as well as his early still lifes and African sculpture studies, his experiments in film, his virtually unknown nudes, and his later architectural and nature photographs. The book also examines Sheeler's relationships with other leading photographers, among them colleagues Paul Strand, Edward Steichen, and Edward Weston.
