Richard Estes, Photorealism and Gordon's Gin

 


 

So Richard Estes created this painting Gordon's Gin in 1968.  It is quintessential Americana – even though the gin is an UK brand.

 

The artist was born in 1932 in Illinois.  He is 89 now.

 

He painted from photographs and tried to represent them faithfully.
