Georgia artist Richard Loehle worked in a variety of styles. In addition to painting and printmaking, he created advertising cover illustrations for pulp science fiction. He also built a reputation for his portraiture. Like the New Realists, Loehle focused on the figure as his subject and as with the Photorealists, he used a photograph as a point of departure. While pulling ideas from both of these movements, Loehle did not fully embrace either. For example, in "Beauties" Loehle uses sepia tones to replicate the coloration of an old, faded photograph, however, his image lacks the crisp clarity of much Photorealist work.
