(223) 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. |
