Ben Schonzeit is a foundational figure in the Photorealist movement, specifically noted for his pioneering use of the airbrush to create a signature ‘soft focus’ or ‘out-of-focus’ depth of field, as seen in the background of Dutch Too. This specific work is highly characteristic of his 1990s output, where he moved from purely technical reproductions of photos to more layered, ‘composite’ compositions that blend sharp still-life elements with dreamlike, abstract backgrounds.
