The artwork titled “Children Playing Game,” created by Duane Hanson in 1979, is a sculpture that belongs to the Hyper-Realism and Photorealism art movements.
The artwork captures an intimate and life-like scene of two children engrossed in a game, positioned atop an ornate rug. The children’s attentive and relaxed postures suggest an atmosphere of casual playfulness. Nearby, a small dog rests comfortably in a basket, further adding to the sense of domestic tranquility. The meticulous attention to detail in the children’s clothing and expressions, as well as the textures of the rug and dog, exemplifies Hanson’s skill in creating hyper-realistic sculptures that closely mimic real life.
