Meaning of accurate in art

Does "accurate" in the following context mean "absolute"? Because equivalents like precise or correct do not seem to apply here.


Context:

Parody is one of the most common forms of humour found in contemporary art. We can witness endless parodies through the appropriations of famous artworks and popular culture images that find their way onto coffee cups, greeting cards and dish towels. Some of the most parodied artworks in the history of art include the gentle mocking of art icons, such as Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, The Scream by Edvard Munch and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. The break-up of a view of art as permanent, idealized, beautiful and accurate gave rise to an aesthetic of impermanence, and an opening for artists to begin critiquing the history of art.
