ART HISTORY

By Emily Rebecca Ching - Falconer

PHOTOREALISMPhotorealism is a clear painting that looks realistic and looks exactly like printed photo image.

‘1. The Photo-Realist uses the camera and photograph to gather information.2. The Photo-Realist uses a mechanical or semi mechanical means to transfer the information to the canvas.3. The Photo-Realist must have the technical ability to make the finished work appear photographic.4. The artist must have exhibited work as a Photo-Realist by 1972 to be considered one of the central Photo-Realists.5. The artist must have devoted at least five years to the development and exhibition of Photo-Realist work.’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorealism

The characteristic for realism is that the painter has tried to make the images look like a realistic photograph that has been taken by a camera.The characteristic of these two pictures of drinks and three cans are that they look realistic they also have loads of colours to it, but the colours are the actual colours they the drinks have in real life. Other characteristics for these pictures is that they both look dull and they want all of the eye attention to the centre of the pictures which are of the drinks. Because the drinks are brightly coloured you can also tell that the painter wanted all the eye attention to the drinks.
