Verism. An extreme form of realism in which the artist tries to reproduce the exact appearance of a subject with rigid truthfulness and scrupulous attention to detail, repudiating idealization and imaginative interpretation. The term has been applied, for example, to the most realistic Roman portrait sculpture. In the context of 20th-century art it has been applied to
Superrealism (sometimes also called Photorealism) and rather less justifiably to Magic Realism and the ‘hand-painted dream photographs’ of
Dalí and other Surrealists working in the same vein. The phrase ‘Veristic Surrealism’ is sometimes used to characterize this last type.
