Photorealistic paintings
27 Stunning Works Of Art You Won't Believe Aren't Photographs I worked most of today on a commissioned painting and was feeling pretty good about it until I looked at these. Gives me something to aspire to ... ... great heavy sigh ... `
I am reminded of the great paintings of the late 19th century before industrialisation and abstract minimalist art killed the painting artists evolving narrative that continued unbroken since Da Vinci and Michelangelo. This hyper-real resurgence is the antidote to the eshers picassos and van goghs out there that ruled the 20th century. Its art, probably too real for some, but great artists rarely reach their peak while alive. I think they know this, the corporate packaging poptarts will be forgotten and their fortunes great but the world will remember the real greats.Photorealism bombed. It was supposed to be the next big thing, but people realized that it's just not ART.

You have no imagination.Problem is I can pick up a camera and take a picture and it looks the same.
What is art? Art is human creativity. Copying a photo is NOT human creativity.
You might not like human creativity, that's fine. But you need to understand what it is you do like. It's not art. It's skillful, yet, you're impressed by it, yes, but what's the point?
Good art is something that makes people talk. Nobody talks about hyper realism because there's nothing to say.
"Oh, wow, it's looks just like a photo and.... er.... that's it." Conversation over.

Dunno but I like it. I like Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Monet and a bit of Dali, but why isn't "capturing a moment" imaginative? Those three I admit I don't find that appealing; not "moments" I would consider showing depth; they looked "posed"...........but still fair enough and fantastic skill. I'd like to see him address something like "The Girl with the Pearl Ear-ring".........something that captures a rare "something"; a moment of the heart as they say. Those three are just "moments of youth"; OK but not very deep. Can you imagine an aged Matron at her husband's side while he's dying? Or realising that one's child isn't going to live? Or a release from some bondage or long suffering? OK; good, but gimme more!!!!!I do. I do art all the time.
The problem is a hyper realistic picture has no imagination.
We don't need to make a photo out of paint, because we can make a photo out of other stuff much easier.
Making something that uses human creativity, that's art. Making a chair isn't creative, it's skill based. Just like hyper realism.
ps: an artist I know does feminist art; calls it "vaginal"; I've seen her work in a gallery. NOT MY STYLE!!!! lolI do. I do art all the time.
