Starting in the 1960s, a small group of artists began making painted copies of photographs in near-microscopic detail. They captured everyday life in their portraits, still lifes and landscapes. The movement fell out of critical favor but continues to influence contemporary art. We’ll look at its beginnings and how it has evolved.
Art Talks are $5 for non-members; free for TMA members and students with ID.
