Toned gelatin silver print - from 'Pictures of Wire ' // Vireo on Barbed Wire by Vik Muniz is a toned gelatin silver print from 1995, part of the Pictures of Wire series and limited to an edition of five. This delicate piece captures a small bird, a vireo, perched on a stretch of barbed wire, rendered with simplicity and subtlety. The fine, minimalist lines create a poignant contrast between the gentle nature of the bird and the harshness of the barbed wire, evoking themes of confinement and resilience. Muniz’s work often explores contrasts and materials in unconventional ways, and here he uses barbed wire as a metaphor for restriction, juxtaposed with the innocence and fragility of the bird, inviting reflection on freedom and captivity.

What is photorealism?
Photorealism is a genre of art or artistic movement that involves drawing, painting, and other graphic media in which the artist carefully studies a photograph and attempts to reproduce it as realistically as possible in another medium. While the term can broadly describe any artwork created in this manner, it specifically refers to a group of painters and paintings in the U.S. art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
