Looking at the pictures of hyperrealists, it's hard to believe that this is not an artistic photograph. Cloths are written using different techniques: artists use oil paints, acrylics, pastels and watercolors, and graphic works resembling black and white photographs are written with pencil, charcoal or pen.
Some works in addition to photographic accuracy have a three-dimensional effect, it seems that the objects depicted in the picture can be taken straight from the canvas.
Realism was inherent in Western art since the days of Ancient Greece. But in the 60-70s of the 20th century the popularity of realistic paintings reached its apogee, and such genres appeared in painting as photorealism and hyperrealism. These areas continue to remain popular to this day.
Photorealism and hyperrealism are often confused, although they have a number of differences. Photorealism aims to recreate the image through various means, avoiding emotions. Hyperrealism, on the contrary, adds a plot and a feeling and originates in the philosophy of Jean Baudrillard: "Simulation of something that never existed."
