Hunter American Classical Realism paintings American Classical Realism painting, as distinct from naturalism, is characterized by careful draftsmanship and the modeling of forms with subtle changes of light within a carefully constructed composition.
Narration is of equal importance, often with moral overtones.
The viewer is initially drawn to these images by the way the artists have captured details that the eye does not normally perceive. Although there are many historical associations that can be traced back to classically trained European artists, American Classical Realism often includes aspects of Americana, those subjects and details that stem from the artists having been immersed in the culture of the United States. Paintings in the Maryhill Museum collection reflect many of these traits and encompass a vast range of subjects.
