Surrealism

Museum patrons view the exhibit "Do You Remember They Can't Cancel The Spring - David Hockney 25" at Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.

Realism Returns: The Resurgence of Traditional Art Skills in the Digital Age

Arline Mann, a former Goldman Sachs managing director turned painter, brings a lawyer’s precision and an artist's intuition to illuminate the quiet resurgence of representational painting in a digital age. Mann dissects the movement's broader return to classical technique, human touch and lived experience, making a case for realism as not just tradition, but a countercurrent and a lasting presence in contemporary art.
