# Overview: What is Photorealism?

   **Photorealism is an American art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, developing from Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism.** Its central tenet is the meticulous, almost mechanical, replication of detail and light found in a photograph, striving for an image that is often mistaken for a high-resolution print.

   The style is defined by extreme technical precision and objectivity. Photorealist artists strictly rely on photographic source material, often using grids or projections to transfer the image with flawless accuracy onto the canvas. Themes typically focus on the modern urban landscape: street scenes, reflections on chrome or glass, consumer goods, and close-up portraits. **The finished work is less about the artist’s subjective feeling and more about the technical process of translating mechanical reality into a hand-painted object, raising profound questions about perception and representation.**

   

## Curatorial Note: Technique and the Photographic Eye

   **This curated collection features works that demonstrate the astonishing technical skill and objective clarity of Photorealism.** We focus on pieces that showcase the movement’s dedication to capturing minute details, from the texture of concrete to the sharp reflections on a car bumper, often highlighting the visual effects unique to the camera lens (like depth of field).

   Our collection is a study in precise observation and technical mastery. We present masters who blurred the lines between painting and photography, achieving an unmatched level of pictorial realism. **Acquiring a Photorealist work means investing in a statement piece that celebrates technical perfection while offering a complex commentary on the nature of visual truth in the digital age.**
