Imitationalism: Believing in the “imitation”
The key principle of imitationalism is that authentic art should imitate actual shapes. This philosophy of art says that more an art piece looks like it was right in front of the viewers’ eyes, the more that piece becomes decent art.
Other art aspects also play parts even though the eyes (or the overall visuals) often become the primary things that belong to the imitationalism’s judgment. For instance, the textures, light adjustments, proportions, and perspectives, should mimic the actual shapes as much as possible.
