Do you like Photorealists like Chuck Close and Ralph Goings?
Never heard of them
A cursory glance - it's extraordinary how close to (indistinguishable from) photography they have managed to make paint.
But I can't say I find this stuff particularly interesting beyond the trick of it.
It seems at least on a scant acquaintance with it to be about removing the visible impression of the artists vision and imagination from painting.
Again, useful for bringing into focus what is so great about Van Gogh, Munch, Turner, BLAKE (who I saw some stuff by today at Tate Britain) etc.
Richter seems to have done some interesting stuff with photorealism, by subverting or dispelling the illusion with blurring and so on
