Photo-realism is an art movement that astounds and humbles me. The sheer skill and patience it requires to make paintings that are so life-like, so much like a real photograph, is mind blowing. All the paintings you are about to see were drawn, not by a computer, but by the hands of talented artists, able to re-create reality with nothing but brush strokes and an artist's eye. Wonderful. |
