Contemporary Realism advocates a simple realistic painting style. The artists of the genre come from various backgrounds but are united in their choice to depict their subjects accurately, rather than conform to the more abstract movements popular in Modern art. Contemporary Realists choose subjects from daily life or that will have meaning to modern audiences. Artists involved in the movement include Neil Wellilver, William Bailey, and Philip Pearlstein.
