Note: In addition to being one of America's most distinguished 20th century painters, Charles Sheeler was an accomplished photographer who used his camera to make a lifelong study of the affinities between art of the past and present. From 1942 to 1945, Sheeler was a photography consultant at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, taking hundreds of photographs of the museum and its collections. The Met published three books illustrated with Sheeler's photographs: Egyptian Statues (1945); Egyptian Statuettes (1946); and The Great King, King of Assyria (1946).
