• This art was often typified by remarkable detail and sharp focus.
• Taps into emotional reservoirs within all of us. It tricks us by hiding unexpected or suggestive content in what at first might seem to be a common or ordinary scene.
Giorgio de Chirico created geometric perspectives marked by strong light and equally strong shadows that gave his pictures an air of mystery and menace
Hyper-Realism
• will look no different from a high resolution picture, making it hard to believe this was created using such regular tools as pencils or ballpoint pens.
• Hyperrealistic images are typically 10 to 20 times the size of the original photographic reference source, yet retain an extremely high resolution in color, precision and detail.
• Gustave Courbet
• Honore Daumier
