I can not resist offering one of my favorite painters and one who comfortably fits the description of "Realist" as well, Andrew Wyeth. He has combined accuracy, detail and narrative with design and abstract qualities that allow his paintings to hang among large/dramatic "modern" work that would easily overpower lesser efforts. I think it was Robert Bateman who discovered and was influenced by Wyeth's work in the sixties and went on to use his training as modern artist with "traditional" training to become the popular wildlife artist he is today.
