Duane Hanson
Highly Realistic Sculptor Style: sculptors consist of life size casts from
human models of everyday people engaged in ordinary activities
Sculptors finished with clothing, hair, jewelry and other accessories
Unlike 2D paintings, Hanson’s 3D objects are familiar in their appearance.
His sculptors question: how should art exist? What should it be? What should it do? And how does the viewer interact?

Robert Cottingham Born in New York in 1935 Studied advertising and graphic design After graduating he was an art director at advertising
agencies where he was involved with all aspects of design and production
Style: the same character and subject matter he is known for, rendered images of neon signs, agricultural details, storefronts, and elements of urban America
He encourages the viewer to focus on the play of light and passage through time through his work as he records a 20th century landscape. He finds aspects of these paintings at awkward angles and use bold zones of colors situated in shallow spaces

Critics/Audience
Attracted wide audience › New ways of painting› Illusions- reality
Art critics– “Not art, but masterful copying.”
The association of Photorealism to Trompe L’oeil, “fool the eye”, is wrongly attributed

Impact on art Today
Photorealist paintings still being created, but now with even more accuracy and precision with the help of technology› Hyperrealism
