Photorealism

Origins

Photorealism is an art style that emerged in the late 1960s and gained popularity in the 1970s. It is characterized by the meticulous attention to detail and the artistic replication of photographs. Artists working in this style exhibit an exceptional ability to reproduce the minutest aspects of the subject matter, resulting in paintings that are almost indistinguishable from photographs. Photorealism gained fame for challenging traditional art concepts and blurring the boundaries between photography and painting.
