Re: [OM] Photorealism

[Andrew Fildes]

I don't really see the point - why not just take a photograph. Very clever but 
not well used. 'Real' realism is someone like precisionist Jeffry Smart who 
creates highly detailed paintings of scenes which are stripped, minimal and 
precise in a way that photographs can almost never be.

Later style -
