LECTURE: Picture This: The Art of Photorealism
Thursday, May 17 • 7 p.m.
Under the influence of Pop Art and as a reaction to Abstract Expressionism, the movement of Photorealism—paintings that simulate or reproduce photographs—emerged in the late ‘60s and flourished during the 1970s. Join MOCA Director Marcelle Polednik for a discussion of the history, process and context of this artform, including emphasis on prominent artists such as Richard Estes, Chuck Close and Robert Bechtle.
