These Photos Are Actually Paintings | Raw File. Louis K. Meisel likes to let you know that he doesn’t care for famous graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat’s paintings — which sell for millions of dollars — because he thinks they don’t show much skill. “People don’t buy Basquiat’s work because they like what it looks like,” Meisel says. “It’s all a big distortion.” What Meisel does like is a genre of painters called the Photorealists. For decades he’s been collecting, selling and promoting the Photorealists and he’s also produced four different books that document this art movement. For Meisel, the Photorealists’ value lies in their technical proficiency and quality. He’s such a large part of the genre that he came up with a five-point definition to clarify exactly what exactly qualifies as Photorealism. 1.

“The so-called cultural elite may from time to time confuse the issue, but eventually truth will endure,” he writes in the new book. Tägliche neue Designprodukte und Design-Inspirationen.
