I have always known that I was an artist. What I did not know, was that it would take me a lifetime to understand what that meant. I had many new skills and talents to develop. I had the responsibilities of life to fullfill and I had relationships to develop and mature. It is many years later now and life has finally shown me a way to my desire. I am an artist. And since I have chosen this path life has continued to bless me and I know I am going in the right direction. My heros are Salvadore Dali and .C.Escher along with my wife, my son and my God.

This luxurious volume—the fourth in a series by Louis K. Meisel—is a comprehensive documentation of 21st-century Photorealism, one of the most popular art movements since the late 1960s. Photorealists work painstakingly from photographs to create startlingly realistic paintings, and where they once used film for gathering information, they now rely on digital technology, which has vastly expanded the amount of detail that can be captured. In these visual marvels they bring insights to vernacular subjects—cars, cityscapes, portraits—and make the commonplace uncommon. Illustrating the book with more than 850 works created since 2000, Meisel covers every major Photorealist still active (including Ralph Goings, Richard Estes, Tom Blackwell, Richard McLean, and John Salt) as well as remarkable newcomers. For the first time he also includes Verist sculptors such as John De Andrea and Duane Hanson.
