| - | '''Illusionism''' in [[art history]] means either the artistic tradition in which artists create a work of art that appears to share the physical space with the viewer., or more broadly the attempt to represent physical appearances precisely - also called [[mimesis]]. The term [[realism (art)|realist]] may be used in this broader sense, but that also has a rather different meaning. Illusionism encompasses a long history, from the deceptions of [[Zeuxis and Parrhasius]] to the works of [[Mural|muralist]] [[Richard Haas]] in the twentieth century, that includes [[trompe-l'oeil]], [[anamorphosis]], [[Op art]], [[Abstract Illusionism]], and [[Illusionistic ceiling painting]] techniques such as ''di sotto in sù'' and ''quadratura''. [[sculpture|Sculptural]] illusionism includes works, often painted, that appear real from a distance. Other forms, such as the [[illusionistic tradition]] in the theatre, and [[Samuel van Hoogstraten]]'s "peepshow"-boxes from the seventeenth-century, combine illusionistic techniques and media. | ||
| - | In his writings and art criticisms during the mid-1960s [[art critic]]/artist [[Donald Judd]] claimed that illusionism in painting undermined the artform itself. Judd implied that painting was dead, claiming painting was a ''lie'' and because it depicted the ''illusion'' of 3-dimensions on a flat surface. Judd claimed that painting needed to recognize its objecthood in real space and reject illusion. Donald Judd wrote in “Specific Objects” in 1965: | + | '''Richard John Haas''' (born August 29, 1936 in [[Spring Green, Wisconsin]]) is an [[United States of America|American]] muralist who is best known for architectural murals and his use of the ''[[Trompe l'oeil]]'' style. |
| - | :"Three dimensions are real space. That gets rid of the problem of illusionism and of literal space, space in and around marks of color… Actual space is intrinsically more powerful and specific than paint on a flat surface. | + | |
