Item Description
1915: "The machine has become more than a mere adjunct of human life. It is really a part of human life—perhaps the very soul." - Francis Picabia
Today: "At a moment when high tech dominates American cultural consciousness, it’s illuminating to recognize how the machine age was similarly tempered by affective responses of attraction and anxiety...this exhibition explores how artists simultaneously embraced and critiqued modernity’s industrial products." - Erica Doss, Artforum
Ten lucky bidders will join Drew Art Chair Ali Blum and Art Teacher Lisa Bostwick for a guided tour of the de Young's popular new exhibit, Cult of the Machine. More timely than ever, this exhibit explores the connections between the past and the present through more than 100 masterworks of American Precisionism by such modernists as Charles Sheeler, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Charles Demuth.
This exhibition sheds scholarly light on the aesthetic and intellectual concerns undergirding the development of this important strand of early American modernism to explore the origins of its style, its relationship to photography, and its aesthetic and conceptual reflection of the economic and social changes wrought by industrialization and technology.
Follow it all up with lively conversaton over coffee and pastries at the de Young Cafe.
