Vanilla 2010

Ralph Goings's "Vanilla" (2010) is a classic example of photorealism, a style that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. Goings, known for his masterful depiction of everyday objects, elevates the humble donut to a subject of artistic contemplation. The hyperrealistic details, from the delicate texture of the icing to the subtle reflections on the surface, draw the viewer into a world of ordinary beauty.
