The New Era of Realism

A movement driven to restore the cultural prestige of master-level representational art. Founded by Dean Forbes and Jeffrey T. Larson, Objet is reframing realism for the modern era. Through exhibitions, storytelling and education, we bring living artists into view and invite a deeper appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship and the knowledge behind the work.
