Derrick

Derrick 6" x 4"  $110.00
The Precisionist movement in the 1920's utilized geometric angles, curves, and clean lines.  Charles Demuth was one of the first artists to use Precisionist techniques.  I like his subject matter of the American landscape which consisted of industrial themes: steamships, grain elevators, factories and towers.  There were many oil wells in north-central West Virginia over a hundred years ago.  There was one left standing on top of a hill near my home when I was little.  It was dismantled years ago.
