Hyper-Realism
Artworks that appear extremely realistic to the extent that they trick the eye. (“Deceive the eye” is the literal translation of tromp O'Neil, a French term historically used to describe these types of works.) Since the ancient Greeks, intense realism has been an aspiration of Western art, however with the rise and popularity of abstract painting in the 20th century, such an aspiration became less savant-grade. At the same time, the late 1960s and ‘70s saw the popularity of highly-realistic paintings based on photography (what is called Photo realism) and contemporary art has seen the popularity of sculptures that attempt to precisely replicate, or "re-create", objects.
Its all a lie...said one of the audience.we are not seeing what really happened at a specific event and that is what they want.
The Vietnam war is one of the most common features of what a hyper reality may seem as if not knowing the real things.
We watch and see the war from the producers point of view and still in silent mode.we watch the war from the screens of air plain missile launchers and live the moment like a video game..,no blood no dead bodies no explosions...no nothing.
And the thing is that the spectators want us as audiences to be at a low level of sensation in which we have no affection or sympathy toward any of the of the victims..
