Breaking Tradition

• Photorealism was in reaction against abstract

expressionism

• Artists were not considered part of the

movement

Page 26: Photorealism davies

Public Reactions

• Connect the painting, artist, and viewer all to

one focus which is the piece itself.

• Scenic and portrait artists became

photographers

• Art value decreased
