Good question. Is photo realism in painting art? It depends, I'd say. Wasn't Mona Lisa a realist painting? Is the following art? Why, why not?

Thanks for posting the Caillebotte, one of my favorite paintings at the Chicago Art Institute. It’s a huge painting and you’re drawn into the Paris street scene.

Yes - because it is attractive to the eye, created by a human being, shows a personal perspective on something, and requires artistic talent *
*these are my criteria for visual art.
