Hyperrealism is a genre of painting and sculpture resembling a high-resolution photograph. Hyperrealism is considered an advancement of photorealism by the methods used to create the resulting paintings or sculptures. The term is primarily applied to an independent art movement and art style in the United States and Europe that has developed since the early 1970s.[1] Carole Feuerman is the forerunner in the hyperrealism movement along with Duane Hanson and John De Andrea.[2][3]
