Detailed Description
Photo-Realism is a genre of painting that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by highly detailed, often close-up images of everyday subjects, such as people, places, and things. Photo-Realist paintings are often mistaken for photographs because of their extreme realism. One of the most famous Photo-Realist painters is Chuck Close, who is known for his large-scale portraits of people. His work is often compared to that of a camera, as he captures every minute detail of his subjects. Another well-known Photo-Realist painter is Richard Estes, who is known for his paintings of urban landscapes. If you’re interested in seeing some examples of Photo-Realist paintings, you can check out the works of Chuck Close and Richard Estes at your local art museum.
