The definitive guide to Photorealism,
This review is from: Photorealism Since 1980 (Hardcover)
A previous reviewer stated that: "...there is very little background infomation provided and by starting at 1980 the movements start is completly neglected..." This is no careless omission, the start of the movement (1969 - 1979) is covered in 'Photorealism'. As I understand, 'Photorealism since 1990' is also to be produced.

guillie review,
By "guillie_c" (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photorealism Since 1980 (Hardcover)
this book is a very good resource for the novice or student new to the subject of photorealism, it provides a large coolection of reproductions from an influential and representative proportion of the photorealist comunity, it does however fall down on the debate about photorealism and its role in contempory art circles, for example for the 20 or so artists featured there is very little background infomation provided and by starting at 1980 the movements start is completly neglected with no reference to chuck Closes early works or indeed the heavily influential geheart richter, the book is a brilliant resource for those interested in the actual pictues but provides less on the inteleqtual debate, this is however no bad thing. as often books of this sort can wonder off into over indulgent protention about a none defined field.
