Photorealism
フォトリアリズム / 1968–1980s / Style / Postwar American Art
Movimiento que traslada la fotografía a la pintura sin mediación y reproduce a mano la densidad de información captada por el ojo mecánico. Escaparates reflejados, cromados deformados, neones de cafetería: los motivos quedan fijados en el lienzo con el enfoque, el grano y la aberración cromática propios de la fotografía. No se pinta lo que se ve, sino lo que la cámara vio así.
Reflejos y brillos de origen fotográfico / Profundidad de campo pintada tal cual / Motivos comerciales urbanos / Superficie lisa sin huella de pincel
Entrada del diccionario
- Usos idóneos
- Product imagery of chrome, glass and liquid that must read as photographed rather than illustrated, where a rendering has to acquire lens behaviour to be believed · Editorial and campaign work about consumer culture, where the gloss on the surface is itself the argument
- Tipografía
- A neutral grotesque set small and cold, used as caption rather than headline so the image keeps all the voltage.
- Composición
- One frontal image cropped so the principal reflection falls at the optical centre, with type confined to a single band at the edge.
- Material
- High-gloss stock or an untextured screen, ink laid perfectly smooth so no substrate grain competes with the photographic grain inside the image.
- Precaución
- Cleaning up the lens artefacts: polish out the focus fall-off, the grain and the fringing and the picture stops reading as a photograph made by hand, leaving airless illustration.
