Early 1900’s saw the advent of modern art and with the development of abstraction in modern art, realism paintings and sculptures also saw a shift in visual description. While it retained the detailed and focused subject matters as in classic realism, it did not necessarily show gritty depictions of everyday life. ‘Abstract Realism’ sounds like an oxymoron, but is a very popular style of art that combines the abstract art elements like patterns, colours, texture and line with realistic art elements like figurative images to create an abstract impression of real life. Abstract realism art is still in vogue with art collectors around the world.

In the late 1960’s, Photorealism emerged in Europe and the USA, characterised by its meticulous detail and precision to create pictures that looked photographic. Photorealism, also known as Hyperrealism or Super realism, had artists reproducing photographs as realistically as possible on their canvases. While the photorealistic works are carefully delineated to suggest that it is accurate, since the works relied on photographs, the works remained distanced from reality factually and metaphorically; quite contrary to still life realism or classic realism.
