“The more the Realistic, The Better”




If I were to choose on what kind of art that would prefer, I’d choose Realistic art. In realistic art, we can easily define what is the artwork all about. We see figures that are not vague so that means we can completely understand it. We see a vivid illustration of human figures. From head to toe, and other models of things. Mostly realistic art portrays life. What it is all about? What are the common things happening around us. It is a story in a canvas or in papers. Would you believe it a story of life in just an artwork. Every time I look on artworks, I search for realistic artworks. Because it somehow tries to converse me and tell me its story. I love stories so much. Maybe that’s why I love Realistic art too. Realistic art is so amazing to view. But how can a person create such as this?

Realistic art known as Realism” is the general attempt to depict subjects as they are considered to exist in third person objective reality, without embellishment or interpretation and "in accordance with secular, empirical rules." As such, the approach inherently implies a belief that such reality is ontologically independent of man's conceptual schemes, linguistic practices and beliefs, and thus can be known (or knowable) to the artist, who can in turn represent this 'reality' faithfully . Realism was an artistic movement that began in France in the 1850s, after the1848. These Realists positioned themselves against Romanticism, a genre dominating French literature and artwork in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Seeking to be undistorted by personal bias, Realism believed in the ideology of objective Reality and revolted against the exaggerated emotionalism of the Romantic movement. Truth and accuracy became the goals of many Realists. Many paintings depicted people at work, underscoring the changes wrought by the Industrial and Commercial Revolutions. The popularity of such 'realistic' works grew with the introduction of Photography— a new visual source that created a desire for people to produce representations which look “objectively real.”- Wikipedia

While Art as Alteration and Distorted Art are not realistic. They’re only made by human imagination. In this kind of arts we’ll often see the Abstract Technique. The Output of the artworks here really came from the reality. But the artist only modified the parts and made them unreal and out of this world illustrations. I find it hard to understand it. It seems only the artist can express its true meaning. It doesn’t matter what art do you prefer. Every person has a unique sense when it comes to art. Art is an expression of what we feel, we see, and what we hear. It doesn’t matter what technique you feel like using. The important thing here is we express!
