We forgot how much we love Precisionist Charles Sheeler's work until last week. From a stone home in Bucks County, PA, Sheeler collected early american furniture and objects, and painted them. Understanding how modern his antique pieces looked is what we respond to most in his modernist work. Though he, O'Keefe and Demuth interpreted the object as pure form, we believe he felt the resonence of history in the place he lived and the objects he collected.
