Spanish term

preciso con la realidad

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Museum exhibit
This question is for specialists in art history and museum texts, as it comes from a commentary on an artist to be used in an art exhibition. I would like to know whether this is a common trope in Spanish art history texts, and if so how it is usually translated. Thank you!

"En todas estas disciplinas artísticas nunca le interesó aplicar un estilo académico, preciso con la realidad..."

no, it is not a trope...it\'s the idea in art that things are a depiction of something...a representation...nothing more
