Photorealism - The Counter to Abstract Expressionism
There are not two art movements further set apart from each other than Photorealism and Abstract Expressionism. In fact, the Photorealism movement began as a counter to the Abstract Expressionist and Minimalist art movements. Photorealism artists were inspired by the Pop Art movement and reacting against Abstract Expressionism. To learn more about the Photorealism movement click here.
