Lecture11 Photorealism & The New Naturalism ARTH3120 Contemporary Art History Travis Lee Clark Utah Valley University All things old are new again. After the craziness of the 60s it makes sense that people would return to naturalism, but this time, it's different. It's not your grandfather's naturalism. We cover Photorealism and its obsession with reflective surfaces and then cover hyperrealism in sculpture and then finally, naturalistic painters who care more about textures than the people they paint.
