"My Egypt" is a seminal painting by American artist Charles Demuth, completed in 1927. This work is often cited as a prime example of the Precisionist movement, an early twentieth-century trend in American art that emphasized clean lines, abstracted forms, and industrial subjects. Demuth's painting is renowned for its depiction of a grain elevator in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, transforming an ordinary architectural structure into a symbol of monumental significance. The title "My Egypt" reflects the artist's elevation of the industrial landscape to the status of the ancient pyramids, suggesting a reverence for modern American industry as a source of cultural pride and identity.

The painting is characterized by its geometric abstraction, with the grain elevator depicted through a series of sharp angles and planes, rendered in a limited color palette. This stylistic approach underscores the Precisionist fascination with the new industrial age and its impact on the American landscape. Demuth's work is also noted for its exploration of themes related to the changing American identity, the significance of technological progress, and the intersection of the natural and industrial worlds.

"My Egypt" is held in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, indicating its recognized importance in the canon of American art. The painting not only exemplifies Demuth's mastery of form and composition but also serves as a poignant commentary on the evolving American landscape during the early 20th century. Through "My Egypt," Demuth contributes to a broader dialogue about the role of art in reflecting and shaping societal values, making it a critical work for understanding the trajectory of American modernism.
