 Hyperrealismbarisertufan.files.wordpress.com Yes it is a painting, not a photograph. By Hyperrealist frontrunner, Denis Peterson I am genuinely moved by the style, but half of me still thinks, "why not just take a photo?" What do you reckon? Steve |

Awesome! At least partly because the painting portrays what the artist chose to portray, not just what he found with his camera. The details remind me of Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth. www.moma.org It's a painting that is interesting when you see a print or a screen shot on a computer, but in person it is stunning. The details in the grass and in the depiction of the girl somehow go beyond photographic in their realism. I saw it many years ago in New York at MoMA and the recollection is still powerful. |

More hyperrealistic sculptures www.psmuseum.org They are so realistic that I was fooled at first, then walking closely by them a second time I noticed that they had not moved. Even then I was not sure enough to stop and stare. I walked on by, then glanced furtively over my shoulder. Finally I got up the nerve to walk up to them directly, all the while fearing that they would suddenly say something like, "What are you staring at young man?" I think a guard was watching me and got a good chuckle. On a different floor there is a life-sized reclining female nude that is another head-turner. But you are saved by the context, and quickly conclude that she is not real. Could not find a link to her. |

Hyperrealism Which brings me to a reflexion on art : modern abstract art was in a sense a reaction to the realism that was a part of painting history (since photography can reproduce the real thing simpler than painting, why should a painter (or sculptor) bother trying to be realist?). But I believe hyperrealism is indeed a form of art : it is the deliberate choice of the artist to present a person in a given pose, and not just any half-hazard pose. And it requires great technical skill. Would we perceive a difference if Mondrian had decided to use larger lines in his abstract paintings? Sorry for that, Piet, I still love your lines the way they are. Lookong forward to some more. |
