Description
Created in 1932 Edward Wadsworths Crank and Chain has become staple of early 20th century abstraction in art. Wadsworth closely followed the developments in the French avant-garde style garnering inspiration from naturalistic elements that focus less on the aggressive and energetic forms of abstraction seen in the works of his contemporaries. Coinciding with the advancement of industrial technology his works begin to take form around aspects of the modern age as seen in Crank and Chain metallic forms seem to reflect the polished machinery that began to spring up in the industry heavy cities of the world. Wadsworths technique using tempera paint on a wooden board allows for brushstrokes to blend together leaving only the clean outlines of the shapes to take over the canvas.
