Richard Estes (1932-present)



Richard Estes, born in 1932, in Kewanee, Illinois, is a painter who is best known for his photo-realistic paintings, and is considered one of the founders of the international photo-realistic movement that occurred in the late 1960's. What I find most fascinating about Richard's work, is his acute attention to detail and his ability to create paintings that look exactly like photographs.
