1) Mainly because the camera lens had just been brought into the world of art and it demonstrated new ways of portraying essence and emotions, through the work of a camera lens and various settings throughout the world.

 

 

2)  The picture opposite is by William Turner as some would say he is the first artist to succesfully capture essence and emotion in a painting that truly depicts a beutiful setting, with buildings and people and a calm ocean combined with a range of different colors to truly show light and emotion in a painting.

 

3) Impressionists were the first art movement who's purpose when making thier art was to create a masterpiece based on, trying to capture feeling and experience within the painting  by using a wide variety of colours and shapes to portray a spesific feeling not just trying to make a perfect depiction.

Photorealism originally evolved as a counter to abstract expressionism which is basically abstract art develoiped from an artistic movement of the mid-20th century comprising diverse styles techniques and emphasizing especially artist's liberty to render attitudes and emotions through nontraditional and usually nonrepresentational means, and it looks something like this.   

all the 3 images i have chosen because of thier realism, you can see the defenition of lines in the pictures, development in the colors and the accuracy of thier drawing it is really outstanding to look at and think about how much time and effort it has taken to complete a picture like this, also the various backgrounds used in all 3 of the pictures shows the different paths you can take when creating a photorealistic picture.

This is my Secret History essay which debates different aspects of the Hockney Falco Thesis which is the assuption that artists and painters in the early 1300's to as late as the 1900's used various froms of lenses to help project an image on to paper, this essay debates the facts weather this theory is correct and if it is cheating or not.
