American Realism

American Realism is a style of art that emerged in the late 19th century in the United States, characterized by a focus on depicting everyday life and common people in a realistic and objective manner. Artists in this movement sought to capture the world as it truly appeared, often depicting scenes of rural life, urban landscapes, and ordinary people engaged in everyday activities. The style is marked by its attention to detail, strong sense of light and shadow, and emphasis on portraying the world as it is, without idealization or romanticization. American Realism is often associated with artists such as Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Edward Hopper.
