Realism in Art Megan Fitzpatrick APEH, March 2006

Thesis Mid 19 th -century artistic style, centered in France, that sought to portray everyday activities and people (especially the poor) as they appear in life, without embellishment to promote social change.

Aspects of Realism - Revolt against rococo, romanticism, classicism, academicism, anything that didn’t deal with everyday life -Felt mythology and histories of academies had no inspiration -Didn’t like the sentimentality and imagination of romanticism -Artists often wanted to spark controversy, depict the problems of the underprivileged and promote social change

Realist Groups - The Barbizon School (French ) - one of first group of artists to form outside of an Academy -landscape artists, wanted to paint nature directly -Millet - The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (English) -praised the art before Raphael and the Renaissance -wanted to imitate nature and represent natural world -great accuracy of detail and color -The Realists (French) -painted with the new method of pictorial representation -scientific concepts of vision, optical effects of light -work expressed want for democracy -worked from life around them -Gustave Courbet, Honore Daumier, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet

Jean-Francois Millet ( ) The Sower (1850) -controversial- conservatives disliked, liberals liked -sower scattering seeds for new crop -crude, yet heroic appearance The Gleaners (1857) -poor peasant women pick up leftover harvest, one of the lowest jobs -makes them the focus of the picture (usually servants are only in the background w/ nobles as focus) -forms show balance and harmony, use of light and dark -makes labor seem noble and beautiful

Honore Daumier ( ) The Third Class Carriage ( ) -Daumier was interested in people, especially the poor -depicts apparently fatherless family on a train - mother tenderly holding baby, grandmother lost in thought, boy asleep -everyone is tightly packed -shows difficulty of everyday life through weary poses Rue Transunion (1834) -depicts an event that occurred during the riots of April 1834, when government troops opened fire on inhabitants of a building -shows brutality of government -drawn based on eyewitness accounts -after this, Louis Philippe ordered the all circulating prints to be destroyed

Gustave Courbet ( ) The Burial at Ornans ( ) -based on the funeral of his grand uncle -painted people who had been at funeral- new technique -realistic setting and realistic people give a look of what life is like in Ornans -huge painting, unusual for ordinary activities to be painted with the same dignity and importance as royal activities The Stonebreakers (1849) -depicts two stonebreakers absorbed in their work -very detailed to show horrible conditions -inspired by the “complete expression of human misery.” -Rejected by Salons, criticized for deliberately painting a “cult of ugliness” and for attacking social standards, praised by socialists as honest portrayal of working class

Rosa Bonheur ( ) The Horse Fair (1887) -depicts a horse market in Paris -Bonheur went there twice a week for a year and a half to make sketches -anatomical drawings of horses -realist and romantic realist because of subject matter and because it is a commonplace event romantic because horses are idealized-they are perfect, also sky is cloudy
