Does representational painting always mean classical realism?

Quite a number of people (like Carmine) believe that as long as an
apple is shaped like an apple in a painting, it is testimony that
classical realism is alive -- even if the rendered fruit looks plastic
and mutated. Understandably the rendering is a poor form of realism
but can you argue that classical realism is alive?

Furthermore, if the painting consists of only one fruit and a black
background, can that be defined as classical realism (ie realism as in
Van Dyke etc)?

Now you're telling people how I believe - what I think!!!
You have incredible gall!!! You have NO IDEA
what I am thinking or believing one moment to
the next - unless you're now purporting to be
God or the omniscient One! Get a life...
