Richard Estes is considered to be one of the founders of new photo-realist artistic movement which is also known as super-realism or hyper-realism. The painters who follow this movement are trying to paint as realistic paintings as they can and to provide us almost exact details of the environment which was the subject of their artworks, without any additions.
