pollution. Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages. The places where people live affects greatly in their lifestyles and living places is one of the very basic needs for people. Firstly you are fit and you don't need to worry about your health condition, because in the countryside the air and water are so clean. Another additional advantage is that there aren't any huge blocks of flats, modern skyscrapers or bothersome traffic jams. Living in the country is slower. People don't need to hurry and have a lot of time. The living cost in a country side is much lesser than that of a city.

Human figures are of minor importance. The paintings are peopleless, emotionless and lack involvement with social issues. Geometric patterns of Cubism are combined with the environment. Drawings are meticulous, design is clear and the colors are low-keyed. Exemplary artists. Charles Sheeler (early C-20). His background lay in the analytical methods of Cubism. He worked in photography which were concerned with abstract patterning that he later transferred to his paintings. He painted skyscrapers, factories, rural and urban life. His work is marked by illusionistic clarity, sharp objectivity, structural design, idealistic mood and temporal stillness. He incorporated abstraction, realism and classicism. Charles Demuth (early-C20). He started with watercolors, especially watercolor illustrations. His art is fragile and cold. His style is one of "hard" geometric abstraction (akin to Cubism), flattened prismatic shapes, intersecting diagonals, shafts of light
