We are all familiar with art that depicts the world as we see it. But we may not be aware of the philosophical and sociological implications of the world portrayed in a work of art and the aesthetic vision of the artist. From ancient Greek and Renaissance artists to modern American artists, realism is never easy to categorize from the surface quality alone. In this presentation, our eyes are opened to the world behind the artwork.
