Charles Demuth's "End of the Parade, Coatesville, Pa." is a Precisionist painting from 1920, depicting the industrial architecture of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, with geometric forms and a muted colour palette.

Charles Demuth's 1920 painting, "End of the Parade, Coatesville, Pa.", exemplifies Precisionism, an American art movement that emerged after World War I. Precisionist artists depicted industrial and urban subjects with sharp, geometric forms and a sense of order. Demuth, along with artists like Charles Sheeler and Georgia O'Keeffe, sought to capture the beauty and dynamism of the modern American landscape. This work portrays the industrial architecture of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, Demuth's birthplace. The composition features a series of towering smokestacks and factory buildings rendered in a simplified, almost abstract style. The artist uses a muted colour palette of greys, blacks, and whites to convey the industrial atmosphere. The geometric shapes and clean lines create a sense of precision and clarity, reflecting the Precisionist aesthetic. The plumes of smoke rising from the smokestacks add a dynamic element to the otherwise static composition. Demuth's painting offers a visual interpretation of the industrial age, capturing both its grandeur and its potential for alienation.
