Realist Color Photography
REALIST STYLE
Realist art attempts to portray its subject matter without artifice. Similar to naturalism, authentic realist paintings and prints see an integration of true-to-life colors, meticulous detail and linear perspectives for accurate portrayals of the world.
Work that involves illusionistic techniques of realism dates back to the classical world, such as the deceptive trompe l’oeil used since ancient Greece. Art like this became especially popular in the 17th century when Dutch artists like Evert Collier painted objects that appeared real enough to touch. Realism as an artistic movement, however, usually refers to 19th-century French realist artists such as Honoré Daumier exploring social and political issues in biting lithographic prints, while the likes of Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet painting people — particularly the working class — with all their imperfections, navigating everyday urban life. This was a response to the dominant academic art tradition that favored grand paintings of myth and history.
By the turn of the 20th century, European artists, such as the Pre-Raphaelites, were experimenting with nearly photographic realism in their work, as seen in the attention to every botanical attribute of the flowers surrounding the drowned Ophelia painted by English artist John Everett Millais.
Although abstraction was the guiding style of 20th-century art, the realism trend in American modern art endured in Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth and other artists’ depictions of the complexities of the human experience. In the late 1960s, Photorealism emerged with artists like Chuck Close and Richard Estes giving their paintings the precision of a frame of film.
Contemporary artists such as Jordan Casteel, LaToya Ruby Frazier and Aliza Nisenbaum are now using the unvarnished realist approach for honest representations of people and their worlds. Alongside traditional mediums, technology such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and immersive installations are helping artists create new sensations of realism in art.

Holidaymakers in Armacao dos Buzios, Brazil, January 1983. On a sparkling day, Slim Aarons captures a glamorous scene of vintage sunbathers relaxing in stylish bikinis and swimsuits by a brilliant turquoise pool. A woman approaches in a retro black and white patterned tank suit and sun hat. Vibrant red orange flowers circle the pool, and holidaymakers enjoy tropical cocktails. In the midground, a festive boat cruises by. In the background, the ocean catches the light, fading from teal to royal blue, a subtle contrast with the turquoise water of the pool, and the soft white clouds and delft blue sky above. A brilliant green maritime forest and neutral cabana with Spanish, or Double Roman, roof tiles provide shade, and compositionally frame the ocean vista...

Palermo Pool, Estate Edition
By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This rich, vibrant Slim Aarons Estate Edition photograph depicts a swimming pool at the glamorous Villa Igiea, in the Sicilian cultural, economic and tourism capital of Palermo, on the Tyrrhenian coastline, in 1975. A storied destination for artists, Hollywood elite, and assorted royalty, the Villa Igiea is a symbol of vintage Sicilian elegance and grandeur.
This iconic image vividly captures a shimmering swimming pool and sun-kissed stone and gardens, beside boats navigating the sparkling turquoise waters of Palermo. Adding to the image's depth and allure are the geological formations subtly visible beneath the sea's surface. This midcentury masterpiece offers a unique glimpse into Aarons' ability to blend nature and lifestyle in his photography.
Former description from the Slim Aarons archive: Slim Aarons' Hotel Taormina, an Estate Edition photograph, is a vintage depiction of a swimming pool in Taormina, Sicily, 1975.
