Reality Realism


Realism in the visual arts and literature is the depiction of subjects as they appear in everyday life, without embellishment or interpretation.. Realism often refers to the artistic movement, sometimes called naturalism, which began in France in the 1850s.

Realists positioned themselves against romanticism, a genre dominating French literature and artwork in the late 18th and early 19th century. Undistorted by personal bias, Realism believed in the ideology of objective reality and revolted against exaggerated emotionalism
