Yikes! I forgot about the Photorealists! (and yet even among the three that
Kate sites, only one, Estes, has significant exposure in major American
museums. Salt can only be found in the Smithsonian - and Baeder is only in
Indianapolis)
But my claim was "All of those *traditional* genres are categorically excluded
from museums .." -- and if we compile a list of the methods and qualities of
Photorealism, how much does it have in common with the traditions of European
landscape painting?
Those highly detailed documents of urban blight would seem to have much more
in common with Kuspit's characterization of shit: "everyday, redundant,
valueless waste, which we regularly flush away or put in garbage dumps, so
that it is kept safely out of sight. ...Every effort was made to keep them out
of public sight until modern art came along and "found" them, and re-cycled
them as innovative art"

>john Salt. richard Estes. John BAeder. They all have pictures in more than
one museum. Wouldn't it help if you knew the names of any living landscape
artists?
