Ralph Goings, Diner 10 AM, 1986, watercolor on paper. Gift of Howard and Judith Tullman, 2003.6.4. Courtesy Ralph Goings.

Painters such as John Baeder, Ralph Goings, John Salt, and Kathryn Siegler take inspiration from the “realism” of the photograph to create technically dazzling and precisely detailed works. This exhibition surveys the complexity and challenges of creating photorealist effects in watercolors, drawings, and prints.
