Photorealism is an art form where paintings are based on photographs. The painter attempts to capture the detail and imperfection of photography's idiosyncracies, such as lens glare or other reflection, in the work. Some of the iconic works of original photorealist painters from the late 1960's and early 1970's are on display until March 2014 at the
Yale University Art Gallery. The YUAG itself is looking more and more like a museum, these days. Have you been there?
The Photorealism exhibit is on the Fourth Floor near the
Red Grooms exhibit. The museum is
free and open to the public whenever it's open.
For more details about that, see
the gallery site.
