What is the difference between Hyperrealism and Photorealism?
The difference between Hyperrealism and Photorealism is the artist's approach to the subject. Like photographers, Photorealists separate themselves from their subjects and strive to keep emotions out of their work. Hyperrealists do the opposite, focusing on displaying how their subjects make them feel through how they portray them. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Photorealist and Hyperrealist art.
