Louis K. Meisel

April 09, 2024

Louis K. Meisel (born 1942 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American author, art dealer and proponent[1] of the photorealist art movement, having coined the term in 1969.[2][3] He is also the owner of one of the earliest art galleries in SoHo at 141 Prince Street. In addition to Photorealism, Meisel is responsible for the resurgence of interest in the sub-set of American illustration identified as "Pin-up", and is the largest collector of original art of both genres. Louis and Susan Meisel own the largest collections of Photorealism and pin-up art in the world.[4][5]

Photorealism edit

Photorealism as defined by Meisel is the creation of paintings fashioned in such a way as to appear to be photographs in their finished forms. Meisel defined the qualities of photorealist as one who:

  1. The photorealist uses the camera and photograph to gather information.
  2. The photorealist uses a mechanical or semimechanical means to transfer the information to the canvas.
  3. The photorealist must have the technical ability to make the finished work appear photographic.
  4. The artist must have exhibited work as a photorealist by 1972 to be considered one of the central photorealists.
  5. The artist must have devoted at least five years to the development and exhibition of photorealist work.
