What is the meaning of Realism in art?
1 Answer
In art, the meaning of Realism is an art movement that emerged during the 19th century. Realist art attempts to portray its subject matter without artifice. Realist printmakers such as Honoré Daumier explored social and political issues in biting lithographic prints. Painters like Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet painted people, particularly the working class, with all their imperfections, navigating everyday life. This was a response to the then dominant academic art tradition that favored grand paintings of myth and history. Find a diverse assortment of Realist art on 1stDibs.
