Painting Realism from Photographs

In his painting process, Richard Estes uses photography as a basis from which to create his photorealist paintings, on view in the exhibition Richard Estes: Painting New York. Widely employed by a variety of painters, this technique allows for artists to gather the raw visual materials needed in order to construct final tableaux.
