Questions About The Realist
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    Yes, Corot was a Realist. He is particularly well known for his realistic depictions of historical and mythological scenes set in rural landscapes, often depicted beneath hazy rather than idyllic blue skies. Some of his most famous works include Souvenir de Mortefontaine, Orpheus Leading Eurydice from the Underworld and Hagar in the Wilderness. Find a selection of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    Opinions vary on who is the most realistic oil painter. Among contemporary artists, Leng Jun, Richard Estes and John Baeder are all acclaimed for the incredibly lifelike works they produce. Other artists who could be contenders for the title include Frédéric Bazille, George Bellows, Rosa Bonheur, Gustave Caillebotte, Gustave Courbet, Honoré Daumier, Thomas Eakins and Jules Bastien-Lepage. Shop a wide range of oil paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    No, Picasso's art typically isn't realistic. Although his style evolved over the course of his career, the Spanish artist is best known for abstraction. He helped launch the Cubist movement with his paintings that distilled objects and figures down into basic geometric shapes. Find a range of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    Yes, John Sloan was a Realist. With Robert Henri, he organized an exhibition of a group of urban Realist painters, known as "The Eight" or the "Ashcan School," who challenged traditional notions of art. Some of the American painter's most famous works include McSorley's Bar; Sunday, Women Drying Their Hair; Sixth Avenue and Thirtieth Street, New York City and Dust Storm, Fifth Avenue. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of John Sloan art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    What you call a painting that is not realistic varies. If the work doesn't represent the real world, a general term for it is abstract. A work that doesn't seek to portray a subject realistically may also be an example of a specific art movement. For example, Impressionist art embraced loose brushwork and plein-air painting to respond to the movement of daily life. In contrast, Pop art drew on imagery from popular culture, such as comic books, advertising, product packaging and other commercial media. Researching the artist of a painting can help you learn more about the art movements they were associated with. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of paintings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    How you price realistic art depends on a variety of factors. If you're trying to determine how to price your own work, experts generally recommend multiplying the length by the width and then multiplying the results by a rate you establish, such as $5 or $6. When selling realistic art produced by another artist, consider the historic selling prices of their work, the size of the piece, the condition and the historical significance. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can also provide you with a fair market value for any art that you own. Explore a large collection of realistic art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    No, a still life doesn't have to be realistic. Still life is a genre or type of subject matter. To fit the definition, a piece simply needs to portray inanimate objects. Artists can employ any style they choose to represent the objects in their paintings. Some examples of abstract still-life paintings include Georges Braque's Violin and Candlestick, Pablo Picasso's Still Life with Chair Caning and Paul Cézanne's Fruit Bowl, Glass, and Apples. Find a large collection of still-life paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    While there is no consensus for the world's most realistic painting, there are many artists who are exploring hyperrealism, an extension of photorealism that evokes the illusion of photography and photographic images. Well-known hyperrealists include Jason de Graaf, Gustavo Silva Nuñez, Simon Hennessey and Carole Feuerman.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    Yes, Robert Henri was a Realist painter. In fact, he was the founder of the Ashcan School, a group of American artists who sought to depict the everyday lives of people living in New York City during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some of Henri's most famous works include Snow in New York, The Masquerade Dress and Dutch Girl in White. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Robert Henri art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    It's really not possible to say who created realistic drawing — drawing techniques developed slowly over centuries. Work that involves illusionistic techniques of realism dates back to the classical world, such as the deceptive trompe l’oeil used since ancient Greece. Italian and Northern Renaissance artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer were interested in drawing subjects as realistically as possible, and 17th-century Dutch artists pushed realistic art further. Realism emerged in France in the 19th century as an art movement through artists like Honoré Daumier, who sought to depict and comment upon everyday life through their work. Explore a selection of Realist art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    Opinions differ on who painted the most realistic portraits. Among historical artists, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, John Singer Sargent, Jan van Eyck and Diego Velázquez are all contenders for the title. Many contemporary Photorealist and Hyperrealist portrait artists have also produced incredibly lifelike works. Among them are Taner Ceylan, Robert Longo, Chuck Close, Kelly Birkenruth and Daniela Werneck. Find a large selection of portrait paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The Realist painter Hopper was Edward Hopper. Born in Nyack, New York, in 1882, he became well-known for his depictions of everyday life in New York City.
