yay. I wonder if you think any Surrealists – I’m thinking of Magritte, in particular, what with all of his lines and frames within frames – fits your understanding of precisionism. I am very interested in photography and have spent time thinking and writing about Riis and Magritte, which is why I’m asking. Thanks, in advance.

Thank you for sharing your expertise I didn’t know about “precisionism” but thought this photo might capture what you were getting at. Does it?

I’ve always loved this Lewis Hine photo – Power House Mechanic (1920-21); in fact, I was able to use it as the cover image for my first book about labor in 19th-century literature and culture.
