Fantasies of precision: American modern art, 1908-1947

Abstract

"Fantasies of Precision excavates the surprising ties that connected the loose contingent of artists that gave rise to the Precisionism movement, exploring notions of precision across philosophy, technology, medicine, and many other fields. Through its cross-disciplinary approach and unique blend of historiography and fantasy, Fantasies of Precision offers a comprehensive reevaluation of one of the defining movements of artistic modernism"-- Provided by publisher.
