Is This Real? Realism in the Era of Fake News

Description

Tulsa-based artist Joel Daniel Phillips believes a return to realism could help people believe each other again in this era of misinformation. Armed with a pencil, he creates life-size drawings of censored WPA-era photograph negatives documenting the Great Depression. His series "Killing the Negative" recently won him honors from the Smithsonian. OETA's Gallery America goes inside Joel's studio.
