REALISM

Realism is an artistic movement and style that emerged in the mid-19th century. It aims to represent subjects as they appear in everyday life, without embellishment or interpretation. Realist artists focus on depicting real-life scenes and ordinary people with accuracy and attention to detail, often highlighting the mundane and the imperfections of the world. This style contrasts with earlier movements that emphasized idealized beauty or dramatic, romanticized depictions. Realism seeks to portray the truth and reality of the world in a straightforward and unvarnished manner.
