About the Artist
Elsie Driggs (1898-1992) was a central figure of American Precisionism, capturing the stark power of industrial America with iconic paintings such as "Pittsburgh" (1927). Driggs' works balance geometric rigor with evocative depictions of machinery and architecture, earning inclusion in early MoMA exhibitions and Whitney Museum annuals. Her enduring legacy is maintained through collections at the Whitney Museum, The Phillips Collection, Montclair Art Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, and National Gallery of Art.
