    As a sneak peek into an exhibition in progress, Robert Cozzolino, PAFA's Curator of Modern Art discusses how realist artists in the 1940s and 1950s worked from a combination of photography, found newspaper sources, life, reproductions of art, and the imagination to produce uncanny images that look neither photographic nor academic in their presentation of recognizable imagery. Taking liberties with reality and subverting audience expectations of realist imagery, artists such as Henry Koerner and Honoré Sharrer produced images that attempt to overcome the "objective" eye of photography.
