Richard Estes

DESCRIPTION

Richard Estes is a central figure of the Photorealist movement, renowned for his highly detailed paintings of urban environments, particularly New York City. His work is characterized by its complex depiction of reflections in glass windows, storefronts, and metallic surfaces. Unlike many other photorealists, Estes avoids using projected slides and instead composes his paintings from multiple photographs to create a heightened sense of reality and depth.
