Photorealism

Photorealism: Partly in response to the abstract movements of the time, realists honed their own skills and started to create "super- realistic" work. By developing hard- edged very highly contrasted paintings Richard Estes, Davis Cone's Criterion Center and Ralph Goings' Ralph's Diner among others were able to create the illusion of a photograph. This was a painstaking technique with much of the original work being monumental in scale.
