Tom Blackwell was a founding artist of the Photorealist movement whose iconic paintings of motorcycles and city storefronts revived the New York art scene’s interest in realism.  For more than a half-century, his work helped to define the Photorealist style with his brilliant large-scale paintings of motorcycles, vintage cars and scenes of urban life reflected in store windows.
