Artwork Description:
The Visit is the photorealist rendition of the Venetian Art Gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This work strongly resembles a postcard from the museum. In his photorealist practice, the artist often strived to achieve maximum realism in the common-looking scenes. The colors here are gray and ocher, and the compositional center is taken by the black form, representing two visitors.
