What is a Photorealistic artist?
1 Answer

A Photorealistic artist is an artist whose work reflects the characteristics of the Photorealist art movement. A direct challenge to Abstract Expressionism’s subjectivity and gestural vigor, Photorealism was informed by the Pop art predilection for representational imagery, popular iconography and commercial art and design tools, like projectors and airbrushes. Whether gritty or gleaming, the subject matter favored by Photorealists is instantly familiar. Some well-known Photorealist artists include Richard Estes, Ralph Goings, Chuck Close, Audrey Flack and Charles Bell. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Photorealist art.
