By Miss Raia
Art Movements of the Industrial Age
Key question to be asked as we go through each period & artist / writer.
How does each art period reflect events of the time?
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
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
Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880): Madame Bovary -- portrays the provincial middle class as petty, smug, and hypocritical
Thomas Hardy: Tess of the d'UrbervillesÉmile Zola (1840-1902): The giant of
realist literaturePortrayed seamy, animalistic view of
working-class life
Realism in French 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
Realism in Literature
CharacteristicsThe 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 worldGreatest works sold to the Paris Salon to be judgedRealists sought to portray life as it really was, not idealizedTherefore 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
