With modern times, comes modern ways of thinking. With modern ways of thinking comes new ways of approaching old things. This is done by blending the old and the new by correcting the old with the new. Such is the way with photorealism. This art from, which is dominated by painters instead of photographers, is the making of a painting out of a photograph. This started in the 1960's in the United States and has even branched to another art form called hyperrealism. Photorealism has emerged from Pop Art to act as an opposition to Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism. At times, it has been wrongly names as Super Realism, New Realism, Sharp Focus Realism and Hyper Realism.
