Photo Realism Major players: Chuck Close | Richard Estes | Janet Fish
They believed that photographic images have become more real to many people than actual objects
They used paints and brushes, but saw the world through the lens of a camera.
Many of their works were actually mistaken for photographs.
Often the artist is detached from the subject. Their works tended not to have an emotional quality at all.
Nothing is personal about the subject matter, and there is rarely a single focal point.

Janet FishPhoto-Realism
Janet never considered herself to be a photo-realist, but her complex still life paintings have clearly been influenced by photography.
Born in 1938, Janet stated that she cannot remember ever wanting to be anything but an artist. Her Grandmother was a sculptor and her Grandfather was a painter.
She graduated from Yale in 1963-- she was discouraged from painting realistically the entire time she attended college.
After graduation, she moved to New York City. There she lived in an unheated loft apartment and had to take showers at friend’s houses. She spent most of her money on painting supplies and object to paint.

Tightly cropped images that fill the entire frame.

Waterlilies and Peaches
“My real subject is the movement of light and color from one form to another”
“I want my paintings to have energy, a movement that goes across the entire surface.”

Chuck ClosePhoto-Realism
Chuck Close was influence by the images of the Pop Artists. He felt the same way about America’s dependence on the second hand visual experience.
None of his “portraits” are traditional. They tell us nothing about the subject’s lives, feelings, character, profession, or social status.
His works are merely paintings of photos of faces.
The overwhelming detail forces us to think not about the subject, but about the image itself- how and why it was made.

Leslie. 1973
He magnified every blemish and imperfection.
His early work was created using an airbrush, as to mimic the mechanical quality of a photograph.
The process of creating the painting was equally important to Chuck Close as the finished image.

Chuck ClosePhoto-Realism
Self Portrait. 1991
“I paint heads because heads matter to everybody. If you paint a face big enough, it’s hard to ignore.”
“My real subjects are not people, I paint portraits of photographs”
“If you make something new and personal, it may not look like art at all.”

Chuck ClosePhoto-Realism
In 1988 Chuck Close was hospitalized due to the sudden collapse of a spinal artery. He has since been paralyzed from the waist down.
He continues to paint on the same scale that he had always painted on. Now he has attendants that help him with the preliminary work, but he still does the actual painting.
Sometimes he sits on a forklift, and other times he uses a special mechanical easel that raises, lowers, and rotates his canvases for him.
