Real [See Art of the Real]

Realism - "The term 'Realism' and its cognates are commonly used in their historical sense of verdical depiction or the representation of things precisely as they are seen to be without imaginative idealization or any kind of 'interpretation'. There is ofen implied an emphasis upon detail rather than general impression.

The terms Photographic Realism [or 'Photo-realism'], 'Hyperrealism', 'Superrealism' indicate extreme forms of Realism in this sense, usually with exaggerated attention to detail. Magical Realism carries similar implications. SInce the 1950s, however, the terms have also been used in a contrasting sense, of art which eschews representation and depiction altogether and avoids all forms of illusionism, including the creation of 'virtual' picture space. In this sense art is called 'Realist' when the materials or objects from which the work is contructed are presented for exacctly what they are and are known to be."[Osborne, Harold, editor.
