Abstract Realism

·         Abstract realism is difficult to explain because of the infusion of two distinct styles of art: abstract and realistic. Abstract does not attempt to depict real objects, as it is concerned only with the colors, lines, shapes and rhythms that create the artwork. In a sense, abstract art is art without a concrete, physical construct to work from. Realistic art aims to create realistic interpretations of real objects. When you combine these two concepts, you get a new style of art that attempts to depict the emotions behind a particular real-life object.

Realist Paintings

·         With the advent of photography, it was no longer necessary to create a realistic image of a mountain, person, object or place. Realism was replaced with the need for artists to find a new way to describe the world around them. Instead of painting the surface of objects, artists began looking for ways to skew realistic imagery to depict real objects in creative and artistic ways. However, in the 20th century, realism has made some advances as an art form.
