Abstract

The article explores the career of American painter Charles Sheeler. Sheeler, who studied at the School of Industrial Art, promoted folk art through his paintings. He has painted several 1917-1918 barns. One of Sheeler's famous paintings is the Bucks County Barn, which features a typical Pennsylvania bank barn built in the 18th and 19th centuries by German and English settlers.
