Inspired by a group of artists in New York, Demuth established a geometric, flat style of painting. In his representative work, My Egypt, he attempts to fuse machinery and art, such as likening a factory chimney to an ancient Egyptian obelisk.

Demuth's modern industrial landscape paintings, composed of clear lines and combinations of surfaces, were revolutionary for their time. Demuth, who was homosexual, also left behind paintings of male nudes.

As a central figure in Precisionism, he left a significant mark on 20th century American painting by transforming the increasingly mechanized urban landscape into art.
