The effect of photography revolution on painting art and photorealism

The similarity between the image taken by the `Photo Machine,? one of the most important revolutions of the 19th century, and the subject of that photograph has installed the photograph in a different position to the other types of art. The period after photography provided material that was inevitably used in a conscious way by artists in their work. Together art and photography paralleled the conception of a new realism in painting, and affected many artists and artistic movements in a special style. Not simply copying the photographic image, but also contributing astonishing detail and new sensations to the visual audience. Photography and photographic techniques affected the pictorial traditions of the era (Neo-Classicism, Romantism, Realism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Pop Art and Photorealism), providing pioneers of painting new visions and fresh tastes. An unknown door was opened for painters and other visual artists.
