DescriptionPhotorealism is a term used to describe paintings obviously derived from photographic sources, but upon close inspection are clearly hand painted. This work represents that style of art and captures a scene of the famous Canter’s Deli in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles. This Jewish deli is open 24 hours a day, making it a popular eating and meeting place since 1948.Gordon McClelland, Curator
