(141115) -- FRANKFURT, Nov. 15, 2014 (Xinhua) -- A visitor admires art works at the exhibition of "True to Life: Veristic Sculpture and the Engineering of Illusion" in the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung in Frankfurt, Germany, on Nov. 14, 2014. The Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung dedicates a major special exhibition to the fascinating tradition of (hyper) realistic sculpture. From Oct. 1, 2014 to March 1, 2015, "True to Life: Veristic Sculpture and the Engineering of Illusion" offers mesmerizing insights into the endeavors undertaken by artists of different stylistic epochs throughout more than four thousand years that were aimed at sculptural representations of man which are as faithful as possible. The confrontation of fifty-two works from different centuries conveys a unique and comprehensive impression of this art-historical phenomenon. (Xinhua/Luo Huanhuan)
