Charles Sheeler: Across Media at The National Gallery in Washington, is the first exhibition to focus exclusively on the complex, often paradoxical relationships between photography, film, drawing, printmaking, and painting that were so central to Sheeler's art. A celebration of the formal clarity and beauty of Sheeler's works, the exhibition will build on a core of masterpieces recently added to the National Gallery of Art collections, including the magnificent painting "Classic Landscape", 1931, the masterful Conte crayon drawings "Interior with Stove", 1932, and "Counterpoint", 1949, as well as three striking examples of the artist's "Doylestown" photographs.
