realismevereisten

Realismusvereisten is a theoretical concept in German art criticism that emerged in the late 20th century. The term was first introduced by art historians and critics to describe the set of unwritten rules and expectations that governed the representation of reality in art. According to proponents of Realismusvereisten, art had to conform to certain strict standards of realism in order to be considered authentic and acceptable.

The concept of Realismusvereisten was closely tied to the rise of photorealism in the 1960s and 1970s. Photorealists sought to accurately depict everyday scenes and objects using highly realistic techniques. However, this approach was criticized for being overly formulaic and for neglecting the creative and expressive possibilities of art.

Proponents of Realismusvereisten argued that art should strive for a high degree of correlation with objective reality, and that any deviation from this would be considered a form of cheating or manipulation. Detractors, on the other hand, saw Realismusvereisten as a form of artistic straitjacket that stifled creativity and innovation.

The concept of Realismusvereisten has been subject to ongoing debate and critique within the art world. Some have viewed it as a way to legitimize the work of photorealists, while others have seen it as a form of artistic orthodoxodoxy. Despite its limitations, Realismusvereisten remains an important concept in the history of modern art, serving as a reminder of the tension between representation and creativity in the visual arts.
