it did for awhile, thanks to ____

the artist previously known as prince

In art it was art imitating life, and it fell out in the late 19th century with anti-mimethis and life imitating art

15 th century was the fall out

none of you are right. mimesis came about in the early reniassance to represent life as close to reality as it could be in paintings, often with perfected versions of men. it falls in line with linear perspective, and its important because it shaped the renaissance until the reformation, which was the fall of mimesis because the popes sanctioned art that wasnt mimetic, in favor of art that was intellecting and emotionally thought provoking, which was a response to the reformation

Urca aka my past arch nemisis giving me rep... doubtful, but we'll see

id have given you the rep if you were right, but you werent. and i havent forgiven you, but im not petty about rep

considering plato was anti-mimesis I think that was way too broad a question. And Mimesis was around thousands of years before the renaissance.

lol alright

that was a broad question because i found 10 different things about it, but most i read all said the same as i posted... and one other posted

I was referring to mimesis from the renaissance stance, not from the ancient greek or post renaissance stance. it was what i learned in art history. it was a broad question
