Realism

Realism Art

Realism is an artistic movement in 19th century (more precisely in 1850s) and eventually it was to portray the accurate side of contemporary people's life style and circumstances, including all the pros and cons of life events. Compare to naturalism, realism is has more of its insight and able to depict more story whereas naturalistic painting needs to be exactly same as the painting and that moment, which most of the cases, it shows the life of normal people. These two artists below focuses on using realism and influences other sides of artistic view, such as the use of traditional methods of painting and absorbing the countryside settings.

For my personal project, the use of realism will fit much better compare to naturalism since the character will be situated in a place with intense condition and to be able to depict that moment is rather difficult to be portrayed as a naturalism.
