INTRODUCTION

The ten artists whose works are included in this portfolio go under various titles—Super Realists, New Realists and Photo Realists being some of them. Of these the last is, technically, at least, the most accurate. For the large part, these painters copy theirworks directly from photographs, rendering each detail of the present American scene with such trompe l'oeil precision and accuracy that the viewer is often both stumped and fascinated by the sheer technique involved.
