Sheeler, Charles (sh) and gender gap (sh)


Sheeler, Charles (sh)




born July 16, 1883, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.
died May 7, 1965, Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.

U.S. painter and photographer.

Educated at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, he initially earned a living as a photographer. His acclaimed series of photographs of the Ford automobile plant at River Rouge, Mich. (1927), was followed by a series on Chartres Cathedral (1929). In his paintings, early Cubist influences led to the Precisionism of his maturity. He treated industrial and architectural subjects in an abstract-realist style, emphasizing their formal qualities, as in his painting Rolling Power (1939), which revealed the abstract power of a locomotive's driving wheels.


gender gap (sh)




Difference in opinions or attitudes between men and women concerning a variety of public and private issues, including political candidates, parties, or programs.

Until the 1980s men and women in the U.S. exhibited similar voting habits. Since then, however, women have been more likely than men to support the Democratic Party and liberal policies, particularly on issues such as equal Employment opportunity, child care, and gun control. In contrast, in western Europe women historically have been more likely than men to support conservative political parties.
