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