Hey dear Hive friends, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new post and hope you are all well and your day has been full of positive experiences! Today I would like to talk about art history and hope you can expand your knowledge a little.
Here are some artworks that I have created with artificial intelligence and specifically I would like to talk about realism and naturalism, which are important art styles. As the name suggests, realism is about giving the works of art a realistic flair and it is about to present everyday situations of life and the focus is on the accurate and detailed representation of the pictured. It is about presenting situations as authentically as possible with attention to detail and the emphasis is on the truth of the event and not the emotions. The artists were very neutral in the inspiration and tried to convey a realistic but also as lifelike impression as possible and this style was also strongly influenced by the revolution and industrialisation. Often it was also about subliminally criticizing certain topics without directly attacking structures such as social changes. The origins of this literary and artistic epoch can be traced back to France and the time of origin was in the 19th century and a formative figure of this epoch was the French writer Jules Champfleury (1821 - 1889). Compared to normal literature, the literary aspects of realism also aimed to get as close as possible to the real events and to describe the events in a realistic way.
Naturalism focuses for the most part on an event as close to nature as possible and specializes in the presentation of natural situations. The focus is on natural motifs such as landscapes, trees, plants or animals and it is largely about presenting the world as it really looks, in its natural form. Naturalism was also created in the 19th Century and specialized in art and literature and artists were influenced by natural events and make the topics seem as real as possible. In painting, special attention was paid to incorporating as much detail as possible into the works and characteristics such as light, shadow or texture were integrated into the works. Works of art were often very rich in details and looked extremely authentic and the term was first coined by the French writer Emile Zola (1840 - 1902) and this style spread more and more from France through the rest of Europe. Literary naturalism was about focusing on natural aspects such as ecology and often serious topics such as environmental problems or other things were also addressed.
Thanks for taking the time to read through my post and I hope you like it and can learn something new about this interesting topic!
