message: Large portions of this page are copied straight from other sources: the last paragraph, for example, is lifted straight from Denis Peterson's page on Hyperrealism. As a secondary result, much of the language is not neutral. Suggest the page be rewritten to eliminate the copy-and-pastes and the bias inherent in the writing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.11.98.194 (talk • contribs) 
:I removed that paragraph, but I haven't gone through the rest to see if anything else is copied. I agree this needs to be cleaned up. --Delirium 15:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; I read this article and still don't really know what hyperrealism is.  I think it's trying to explain why hyperrealism is better than just taking photographs (the obvious criticism of photorealistic painting), but it certainly doesn't succeed in doing so in a readable way.  It could also use more factual history of the movement, and of course sources. --Delirium 15:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Superflous paragraph

message: As I've read and become aware of "Hyperrealism" it seems to me that it is not a complete split from Photorealism.  Many of the Photorealists are now using digital means to paint their paintings.  Also, in many of the sources listed the Photorealists all talk about how there IS meaning in their paintings.  This article claims that there is hardly any meaning in the original Photorealism movement, which is wrong.  Hyperrealism is an advancement due to digital capabilities in Photorealism.  Not a complete split.  Zachiroth (talk) 16:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Quality and technics are important element for judge hyperrelistic paint. 
I notice many name's of artist doesn't with a very poor quality for hyperrealism
i.e. Latif Maulan , Boris Dragojevic.
And many other, I think this section need some integration and revision.Denistonello (talk) 09:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

message: As it stands now, the allegedly hyperrealist picture "File:La hora del te.jpg" appears indistinguishable from a simple Photoshopped photograph of a physical tea set, and could possibly be a hoax. A more contextual photo is needed, showing the painting in a frame, on a wall, or in an exhibition. A ruler or a simple object, or a person or a hand are need to establish physical size. Other standard information, such as medium, date of creation, date of photo, location, etc. are all missing.  Please improve the documentation of this photo. In the meantime, I am temporarily removing it from the article.  Reify-tech (talk) 18:05, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think that the themes section is essentially gibberish? "Helnwein developed unconventionally narrative work that centered on past, present and future deviations of the Holocaust. Provocative subjects include enigmatic imagery of genocides, their tragic aftermath and the ideological consequences." What exactly is meant by "unconventionally narrative"? One could understand this in reference to novels, perhaps (though it would still lack specificity), but in relation to realist paintings, what could it mean? What is a "deviation" of the Holocaust (as opposed to a Holocaust)? How can an image of genocide, especially a realistic image, be "enigmatic"? And what might "ideological consequences" encompass? In short, this doesn't give the reader meaning so much as it uses words as mere signposts to point at a meaning which is elsewhere, and which, in the end, the reader has to take on faith as being actually present in the paintings. The discussion either needs to be more comprehensive and specific, or it needs reproductions of actual paintings to give it some point. Otherwise, it's just airy generalizations, at attempt at suggesting deep thought and social engagement without actually giving us any of the content of those deep thoughts. In short, gibberish.

message: This article begins wrong. Sorry I'm not skilled at editing, but look at this reference: https://mymodernmet.com/hyperrealism-history/
Major museums are a good source of defining art movements and styles, due to the large number of misconceptions online.
Hyperrealism is not an attempt to resemble a high resolution photograph. "Hyperrealists used advancements in high-definition photography as a jumping-off point into expressions of false realities" So, although inspired by photography, the paintings are meant to go beyond what photography can express. For example, they often will not copy the flaws or limitations (no out of focus areas, no optical defects, distortions). It is not "photographic in essence". The article is a mix of fact and misconception, and thus self-contradictory... Then there is the "Themes" section which seems to be a collection of irrelevant tangents.24.236.70.18 (talk) 13:42, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
