About the piece

Created in 1919, Charles Demuth’s 'Piano Mover's Holiday' is a definitive example of American Precisionism. The composition transforms an industrial landscape into a web of geometric force lines, balancing the heavy verticality of factory smokestacks with a delicate, translucent play of light and form.
