Realism, as an artistic movement, emerged at the same time as the French Revolution of 1848. The painter Courbet and the theorist Jean Fleury were its spiritual leaders. Realism is resolutely the expression of the style, ideas and outlook of the painter's time, and sincerity is crucial. "Realism" can also refer to artistic realism in Western language. Therefore, "realism" can also be called "realism". One of the basic creative methods of literature and art advocates objective observation of real life, according to the original appearance of real life, the true representation of typical images in typical environments, and the reproduction of life, so as to promote the progress of history.
Representative figures:
1. Courbet ( June 10, 1819 – December 31, 1877 ).
Courbet studied at the Royal Academy of Persançon in his early years. In November 1840, he went to Paris to study law, but failed the university examination to study art [8]. In 1844, he rose to prominence with "Self-Portrait with a Black Dog". In 1855, he completed the painting "Studio". In 1870, he was elected president of the National Museum of France. In 1873, he went into exile in Switzerland due to political events, and later died in Tours de Pelz in Switzerland.
Main works: 《Self-Portrait with a Black Dog》、《Ornan's Funeral》、《Studio》
2. Edvard Munch (December 12, 1863 – January 23, 1944).
Edvard Munch was a Norwegian expressionist painter, printmaker and pioneer of modern expressionist painting. His paintings have a strong subjectivity and a sad and oppressive mood. His intense, call-out approach to psychological anguish had a major influence on the growth of German Expressionism in the early 20th century.
