Sybil Andrews"s sports scenes evoke physical prowess, unity, and ideas of mechanised production promoted in scientific management theories popularised in the 1920s and 30s, such as Taylorization and Fordism. Enhancing and celebrating workers" productivity and efficiency manifested as a unique aesthetic, also evident in Andrews"s images of men working ( Haulers and Oranges ) and her depiction of athletes in Bringing in the Boat . A single line of figures is echoed and expanded into two receding lines of rowers, whose sharp angles and jagged lines are mirrored by the boat"s metal spokes. One can also compare Andrews"s Bringing in the Boat and its industrialized aesthetic with Cyril Power"s The Eight , which combines elements of mechanization with colors and shapes that evoke the natural world.
