‘'... Sheeler’s ability here to conceive near photographic realisation through his paint is tremendous. From the edged shadows of the brick walls above the exiting corridor, to the two workers stooped together in probably incidental reverence, everything is freighted with reality. Especially the turbine, which feels almost surrealist in its aggressive imposition on the picture... I feel an almost benign aggression by Sheeler, a latent tension that hangs the machine as a noose above the men that it towers. The men who, after all, have no real power in the picture. They are presumably for maintenance & button pushing, incapable of the unimaginable power that the beast of ‘Suspended Power’ was built for. An omnipotence Sheeler suggests by cutting ‘Suspended Power’ off at the base, as if the machine itself could burrow right off into the ground & away from everything, off out the canvas even. ...’ https://kweiseye.wordpress.com/tag/charles-sheeler/
Rather, he combined two different perspectives in the painting, reduced the number of figures in the plant, and significantly cleaned up the industrial interior.’

‘Charles Sheeler (1883-1965) was born in Philadelphia. His education included instruction in industrial drawing and the applied arts at the School of Industrial Art in Philadelphia (1900–1903), followed by a traditional training in drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1903–6). He found early success as a painter and exhibited at the Macbeth Gallery in 1908. He realised that he would not be able to make a living with Modernist painting; instead, he took up commercial photography, focusing particularly on architectural subjects. Sheeler painted using a technique that complemented his photography and has been described as “quasi-photographic". He was a self-proclaimed Precisionist, a term that emphasised the linear precision he employed in his depictions. As in his photographic works, his subjects were generally material things such as machinery and structures.’ image & text here above from https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-3.html
