Photorealism In this Movemen t
Realist paintiners and
sculptuers are involving thorough
reproduction of
details. In painting the results were nearly
photographic-- in fact made from photographs (although painters had been working from photographs since the early days of photography).
Although its center was in theUnited States, the Photo-Realism
movement was also strong inEurope from the late 1960s into the 1970s, where his type of
illusionism is known principally as superrealism.
Among the most highly regarded American photorealist painters are Richard Estes (1932-), Chuck Close (1940-), Audrey Flack (1931-), Charles Bell (1935-1995), and Ralph Goings (1928-).
