Figurative art or figurativism, unlike abstract art, concerns the representation of recognizable images of the world around us, sometimes faithful and accurate, sometimes highly distorted. Some artistic styles are essentially figurative such as the styles of the Renaissance, Baroque, and Realism. By contrast, many more recent movements like Impressionism or Expressionism are also figurative, but less concerned with mimicking reality. Representation in the figurative arts refers to an image born from the creative mind which, through any type of technique, architectural, sculptural, pictorial, or other means, becomes an object to be communicated to others. Finally, Photorealism and Hyperrealism are current movements representing recognizable subjects.
In short, it is a world to be discovered in the rich exhibition of painting, sculpture, and craftsmanship on the colorful lakeside of Bardolino.
