Art Movements of the Industrial Age Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism & Expressionism By Miss Raia
How does each art period reflect events of the time? Key question to be asked as we go through each period & artist / writer.
Realism • belief that literature and art should depict life as it really was. • Largely a reaction to the failed Revolutions of 1848-49 and subsequent loss of idealism
Realism in French Literature • France (beginning of realist movement) • Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850): The Human Comedy -- depicts urban society as grasping, amoral, and brutal, characterized by a Darwinian struggle for wealth and power • GustaveFlaubert (1821-1880): Madame Bovary -- portrays the provincial middle class as petty, smug, and hypocritical • Thomas Hardy: Tess of the d'Urbervilles • ÉmileZola (1840-1902): The giant of realist literature • Portrayed seamy, animalistic view of working-class life
Realism in Literature • England: George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) (1819-1880)--examined ways in which people are shaped by their social class as well as their own inner strivings, conflicts, and moral choices. • Russia: Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) – greatest Russian realist (War and Peace) • Fatalistic view of history but regards human love, trust, and everyday family ties are life’s enduring values • Scandinavia: Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) – “father of modern drama” • The Dollhouse
Realist Art • Characteristics • The most important artists of the 19th century and 20th centuries created art for “art’s sake.” • This includes the Romantic period (to be studied after midterms) • Rather than depending on patrons to fund their works, they exercised virtual artistic freedom and hoped to make their money by selling their paintings to the public. • France was the center of the art world • Greatest works sold to the Paris Salon to be judged • Realists sought to portray life as it really was, not idealized • Therefore ordinary people became the subject • Realist photographers will also try to use their art to reveal the horrors of factories to newspapers and government in hope of change
