Danbury Tile, from Urban Landscapes

A masterful example of Photorealist printmaking, Richard Estes' *Danbury Tile* captures the gleaming reflections and precise architectural detail of an urban storefront with striking clarity. The screenprint renders the interplay of glass, tile, and signage with an almost mechanical precision, blurring the boundary between photograph and fine art. Estes' meticulous layering of colors on Schoeller's Parole paper achieves a luminous depth that is characteristic of his celebrated approach to depicting the modern American cityscape.
