The artwork titled “Criss-Crossed Conveyors, River Rouge Plant, Ford Motor Company” is a photograph created by Charles Sheeler in 1927. This piece is rooted in the Realism art movement.
The artwork captures an industrial scene at Ford Motor Company’s River Rouge Plant. Central to the composition are intersecting conveyor structures, which dominate the visual space with their geometric precision and industrial might. In the background, several tall smokestacks rise vertically, underscoring the scale and complexity of the factory environment. The black and white tones contribute to the stark and structured aesthetic, emphasizing the contrast and texture of the industrial materials. The meticulous arrangement of the elements within the photograph reflects the artist’s attention to detail and his ability to convey the grandeur and intricacies of modern industrial architecture.
