Photorealism is an art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, characterized by the creation of paintings, drawings, and other artworks that closely resemble high-resolution photographs. Artists use meticulous techniques to capture details, textures, and lighting, often working from photographs to achieve a lifelike representation of their subjects. This style often features everyday scenes, objects, and landscapes, emphasizing realism and precision. Notable artists associated with Photorealism include Chuck Close and Richard Estes, who have contributed significantly to the movement by pushing the boundaries of traditional painting and exploring the relationship between photography and art.
