Notas do Editor
- Critics thought that photorealism was mindless and it was nothing but copying and cheating real art. People also questioned if this art was real a lot of the time people would think that possibly the painting is not really a painting, it is just a photograph.Since most critics thought that this type of art was cheating they also thought that it was not unique in any way since they were just painting a picture that they had photographed. Also this is why they believe that it was not creative. Lastly, critics thought that it was cruel because they thought that artist from photorealism were just trying to make fun of other artists and their paintings. They thought that it was nothing but just a photo that was copied down and painted, there was no real meaning behind the artwork, there was never really a story to tell since most of the objects were things in America and it was primarily things that were bought.
- This was painted by a newer artists, Jason De Graaf, this was more directed at photo realisms branch, hyperrealism, but in this photo its hard to tell if it is a painting or a photo, in reality it is a painting but this is where the controversy starts, people could just think that someone is trying to trick them into believing that this photo is really a painting and get credit for something that was not truly his own work.
- Some positives towards photo realism were that people thought the artwork was incredible, they were able to see the intense detail that they wish they could have seen in a photo. It was so detailed that it seemed life like and people loved that they could come up with their own conclusions about the artwork, there was no insane deep meaning by something. They could tell their own story about a picture and still be correct.
- Richard Estes created this piece, you can see that this picture looks extremely realistic and it is not about anything in particular, people could create their own story about this painting, they could say it was the day of 9/11 or just another day of people going to work or even leaving work.
- Photorealism is the one of the most recent art movements so it is still used today, but not very much. It is now more popular in Europe then it is here.Photorealism has influenced a branch called hyperrealism, which is about using a photograph as a source but they change the picture in different ways it focuses on emphasizing and details in the photo.A lot of artists that are around today tend to say that photorealism gave them inspiration and they base a lot of their work off of that along with work done by photographers
- It is no longer a American movement, for the primary of time photorealism had been only in America and now it has traveled over seas to Europe.European artists are (some) Clive Head, RaphaellaSpence, Bertrand Meniel, and RobertoBernardiSince 2002 only a few artists out of the original continue to create photorealist paintings, a lot of artists have stopped because it was so time consuming and it would take about 5 years for one painting to be completed.Photorealism is now used in video games and movies (HD) they created the form for video games to make video games to look really life like and create a better feel for the video game, along with animated movies, they all look so real now and photorealism helped create that feel.Obviously it is different types of creations but it still is the main concept, it is trying to create something that usually would look fake and create it into something so beautiful and so realistic
- Picture from the popular video game, Gears of War
