Hyperrealism

Hyperrealism, which emerged as a further development of Photorealism, appeared in America at the end of the 1960s, on the one hand as a counterpart to conceptual and abstract art, and on the other as a questioning of photography. Through technical precision, photographically accurate paintings or lifelike sculptures are created in exaggerated reality, which, in contrast to photorealism, are increasingly concerned with cultural and political themes as well as social issues.
