Olympia Stone’s ACTUALLY, ICONIC: RICHARD ESTES: Naples International Film Festival; called the “father of photorealism”
In the interview, I talk to Stone about Estes’ exceptionally rare ability to capture not just architecture to a remarkable exactness but to subtly give an artistic life to the images he paints. She discusses the unique pressure and challenges to introducing the public to this artist who was not “asking” for attention in that way, including getting him to discuss, if not open up freely about his life as a gay man, as well as his approach to his art.
