Big Agree, the disparagement of photorealism I've heard in art school and online comes off as sour grapes in the guise of criticism

not just the details, people are taken in by representative work- can you easily identify what a scene portrays- does the drawing of a figure easily communicate a figure. And naturalistic work is an obvious answer to that question.

it's definitely not! In fact developing one's own style is often the result of the hyper realistic (or just more realistic) result being just out of reach! it takes hella discipline and rigor

the reflexive panning of hyperrealism one encounters in certain online and academic spaces feels as shallow and reactionary at root as say, disparaging 'anime style' or 'furry art'.

the same reflexive dismissal is at work.
