Charles Sheeler (1883-1965) is recognized as one of the founders of American modernism and one of the master photographers of the 20th century, yet his photographs have been exhibited far less often than those of his contemporaries Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand. The MFA’s show—The Photography of Charles Sheeler: American Modernist—is the first major exhibition to feature the whole range of his photographic oeuvre and will have venues at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
