Socio-political Hallmarks More than half of population in cities Commercial classes gaining wealth, blurring who was considered a lady or a gentleman Working class still disgruntled-bad working conditions

The Arts Pre-Raphaelites (visual) Greatly influenced by nature Used great detail to show the natural world using bright and sharp focus techniques on a white canvas Sympathized with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parodying and learned by rote Objective: to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues

Aesthetic Movement (1860 – 1900) Art in its various forms should not seek to convey a moral, sentimental or educational message but should give sensual pleasure Goal was "to exist beautifully": Art for Art's sake Emphasis on aesthetic value over socio-political themes Wilde seen as a leading figure

Ideologies Intellectual positivism All knowledge must be based on empirical evidence Natural sciences established empirical investigation Doubts of religious truth AND reversion to Biblical fundamentalism “Woman Question”: Women campaigning for equal rights

Sexual Outlook Homosexualism is illegal Not prudes Modesty the rule of the day Sense of propriety guided perspective Much erotic art around (Yellow Book)
