Questions About Socialist Realism Art
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    In art, the definition of realism is work that attempts to portray its subject matter without artifice. Similar to naturalism, authentic realist paintings and prints see an integration of true-to-life colors, meticulous detail and linear perspectives for accurate portrayals of the world. Realism as an artistic movement usually refers to 19th-century French artists such as Honoré Daumier, who explored social and political issues in biting prints, and Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet, who painted people with all their imperfections, navigating everyday urban life. This was a response to the dominant academic art tradition that favored grand paintings of myth and history. On 1stDibs, shop a range of realist art.

    Many art movements came after Realism. In terms of which art movements grew out of Realism, late-19th-century Naturalism can be thought of as its most immediate successor. Realism also influenced the Photorealism movement of the 1960s and the Hyperrealism movement of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Explore a large selection of Realist art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
