A pioneer of American modernism
Born in Lancaster (Pennsylvania) in 1883, Charles Demuth established himself in the 1910s as one of the most innovative artists of his generation.
Trained in Philadelphia and then in Paris, he discovers Cubism and Futurism, which he adaptively refines to develop a unique visual language.
His works combine the structure of forms with the light of American everyday life: silos, factories, billboards, or urban facades become art subjects, magnified by a perspective with an almost architectural precision.
Between abstraction and poetry
Demuth is a master of balance: between rigor and emotion, geometry and poetry.
His iconic painting, I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold (1928), inspired by a poem by his friend William Carlos Williams, embodies this fusion of visual art and poetic rhythm.
In each work, the composition is carefully studied, lines are arranged with crystalline clarity, and the hues — gold, silver, deep red — convey an almost musical vision of the modern world.
An ideal style for contemporary decoration
The art prints of Charles Demuth naturally find their place in modern, minimalist, or design interiors.
Their geometric aesthetic and elegant palette create a subtle yet expressive atmosphere.
Hanging in a living room, office, or gallery wall, a Demuth art print immediately draws attention with its graphic balance and visual power.
