Richard Estes
American, born 1935

Supreme Hardware Store, 1973
Oil, acrylic on canvas


Gift of Virginia Carroll Crawford, 1978.119

Richard Estes is called a "super-realist" because he
includes more detail than we would see if we were
looking at the actual scene. He relishes the many
views generated by the city's shiny, reflective
surfaces. Although this picture is filled with
detail, the absence of people makes the street
seem oddly barren.
