• Charles Sheeler and machine-age anxiety

  

  Precisionist painter Charles Sheeler and Mexican muralist Diego Rivera never crossed paths at The Rouge, even though both men were deeply affected by what they saw at Henry Ford’s iconic manufacturing complex. Do their paintings celebrate the liberating potential of technology? Or warn us about tech’s dark side?
