    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.

    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.
