Photorealism: dead?

>>3120551
Photorealism developed AFTER AND BECAUSE OF hi-def cameras retard. They're considered photorealistic because they're BASED ON PHOTOS

FUCK

I hope it dies, it's a pointless and unimpressive task to me. Like, make something new, the whole point of art for me is creating things a camera can't capture.

Look up every color pencil artist ever, they all trace photographs like the photorealists.

This. Like, make it a sport if you want to do it, competitive copying or something. It's not art.

I think people will always appreciate craftsmanship and great feats. Photo-realism may be unimpressive creatively but as long as it's something most people cannot do then there will be some demand for it.

What the fuck do HD cameras have to do with photorealistic drawing? Are you retarded?

You have a comprehension problem. Prob why you're an artist not someone who actually matters.

No less autistic than Vermeer

What I meant was is photorealism dying or a futile endeavor. I was being hyperbolic. I understood it came about after and because of high definition photography.

If anything I have a communication problem and the two of you have autism

I'm not talking 1080 p. They seem to be recreating high resolution photography

If your endgame is to impress normies then you might as well get into something like street magic. Or find a forgotten Amazonian tribe and show them a laser pointer
