The article presents information on the book "Charles Sheeler. Artist in the American Tradition," by Constance Rourke. The old question "Can the artists work in the U.S.?" is the underlying subject of this book. Rourke in telling the story of Charles Sheeler as an American artist makes an affirmative answer that both convinces the mind and excites the imagination. In the modern career of Charles Sheeler she has found a subject that is not only interesting in its own right but enables her to advance and demonstrate certain basic and fructifying ideas about art and American traditions.
