Definition of realism
Deffenition of :
Realism
:
Realism ; in the arts
may be generally defined as the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully,
without artificiality, and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic
and supernatural elements.
In its most
specific sense, Realism was an artistic movement that began in France in the 1850s, after the 1848 Revolution. Realists rejected Romanticism, which had dominated French literature and art since the
late 18th century. Realism revolted against the exotic subject matter and
exaggerated emotionalism and drama of the Romantic movement. Instead it sought
to portray real and typical contemporary people and situations with truth and
accuracy, and not avoiding unpleasant or sordid aspects of life. Realist works
depicted people of all classes in situations that arise in ordinary life, and
often reflected the changes wrought by the Industrial
and Commercial Revolutions. The popularity of such 'realistic' works grew with the introduction
of photography — a new visual source that created a desire for people to
produce representations which look “objectively real.”
More generally,
realist works of art are those that, in revealing a truth, may emphasize the
ugly or sordid, such as works of social
realism, regionalism,
or Kitchen sink realism. The movement even managed to impact on opera, where it is called Verismo, with contemporary working-class heroines such as Carmen, who works in a cigarette factory, and Mimi in La
bohème.

Classicism is a force which is often present in post-medieval European and European influenced traditions; however, some periods felt themselves more connected to the classical ideals than others, particularly the Age of Enlightenment.

Augustan
The
Golden Age is divided by the assassination of Julius Caesar. In the wars that
followed the Republican generation of literary men was lost, as most of them
had taken the losing side; Marcus Tullius Cicero was beheaded in the street as
he enquired from his litter what the disturbance was. They were replaced by a
new generation that had grown up and been educated under the old and were now
to make their mark under the watchful eye of the new emperor. As the demand for
great orators was more or less over,[15] the talent shifted
emphasis to poetry. Other than the historian Livy, the most remarkable writers of the
period were the poets Vergil, Horace, and Ovid. Although Augustus evidenced some
toleration to republican sympathizers, he exiled Ovid, and imperial tolerance
ended with the continuance of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty.Augustan writers include:
- Publius
Vergilius Maro
(Virgil, spelled also as Vergil; 70–19 BC),

Romanticism
Eugène Delacroix, Death of Sardanapalus, 1827, taking its Orientalist subject from a play by Lord
Byron
Romanticism (or the Romantic
era/Period) : was an artistic, literary, and
intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th
century and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800
to 1850. Partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, it was also a revolt against aristocratic social and
political norms of the Age of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature. It was embodied most strongly in the visual
arts, music, and literature, but had a major impact on historiography,
education and the natural sciences.
Its effect on politics was considerable and complex; while for much of the peak
Romantic period it was associated with liberalism and radicalism, in the long term its effect on the growth
of nationalism was probably more significant.
The movement
validated strong emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as apprehension,
horror and terror,
and awe—especially
that which is experienced in confronting the sublimity
of untamed nature and its picturesque qualities, both new aesthetic categories.
It elevated folk art
and ancient custom to something noble, made spontaneity a desirable
characteristic (as in the musical impromptu), and argued for a "natural" epistemology of
human activities as conditioned by nature in the form of language and customary
usage. Romanticism reached beyond the rational and Classicist
ideal models to elevate a revived medievalism and elements of art and narrative perceived to be
authentically medieval in an attempt to escape the confines of population
growth, urban sprawl,
and industrialism,
and it also attempted to embrace the exotic, unfamiliar, and distant in modes
more authentic than Rococo
chinoiserie, harnessing the power of the imagination to envision and to
escape.
Although the
movement was rooted in the German Sturm
und Drang movement, which prized intuition
and emotion over Enlightenment rationalism, the ideologies and events of the French
Revolution laid the background from which both Romanticism and the Counter-Enlightenment emerged. The confines of the Industrial Revolution also had
their influence on Romanticism, which was in part an escape from modern
realities; indeed, in the second half of the 19th century, "Realism" was offered as a polarized opposite to Romanticism.
Romanticism elevated the achievements of what it perceived as heroic
individualists and artists, whose pioneering examples would elevate society. It
also legitimized the individual imagination as a critical authority, which
permitted freedom from classical notions of form in art. There was a strong
recourse to historical and natural inevitability, a Zeitgeist, in the representation of its ideas.
In
the United States, romantic Gothic literature made an early appearance with Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1820) and Rip Van Winkle (1819), followed from 1823 onwards
by the Leatherstocking Tales of James Fenimore Cooper, with their emphasis on heroic
simplicity and their fervent landscape descriptions of an already-exotic
mythicized frontier peopled by "noble savages", similar to the philosophical
theory of Rousseau, exemplified by Uncas, from The Last of the Mohicans. There are picturesque "local
color" elements in Washington Irving's essays and especially his travel
books. Edgar Allan Poe's tales of the macabre and his
balladic poetry were more influential in France than at home, but the romantic
American novel developed fully with the atmosphere and melodrama of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850). Later Transcendentalist writers such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson still show elements of its
influence and imagination, as does the romantic realism of Walt Whitman. The poetry of Emily Dickinson—nearly unread in her own time—and Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick can be taken as epitomes of
American Romantic literature. By the 1880s, however, psychological and social realism were competing with Romanticism in
the novel.
Modernism
Modernism, in its broadest definition, is
modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes
the modernist movement in the arts, its set of cultural tendencies and
associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching
changes to Western society
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In particular the development of
modern industrial societies and the rapid growth of cities, followed then by
the horror of World War I,
were among the factors that shaped Modernism. Related terms are modern,
modernist, contemporary,
and postmodern.
In art, Modernism explicitly rejects the ideology of realism and makes use of the works of the past, through the
application of reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and
parody in new forms. Modernism also rejects the lingering certainty of Enlightenment
thinking, as well as the idea of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator.
In general, the term Modernism encompasses the activities
and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art,
architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life
were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of
an emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra
Pound's 1934 injunction to "Make it
new!" was paradigmatic of the movement's approach towards the obsolete.
Another paradigmatic exhortation was articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor
Adorno, who, in the 1940s, challenged
conventional surface coherence, and appearance of harmony typical of the
rationality of Enlightenment thinking. A salient characteristic of Modernism is
self-consciousness. This self-consciousness often led to experiments with form
and work that draws attention to the processes and materials used (and to the
further tendency of abstraction). The modernist movement, at the beginning of
the 20th century, marked the first time that the term avant-garde, with which the movement was labeled until the word
"modernism" prevailed, was used for the arts (rather than in its
original military and political context).
