Urban Realism
Urban realism is a genre of art that aims to depict everyday life in urban environments with a focus on portraying the gritty realities of city life. This style often includes detailed depictions of city streets, buildings, and people engaged in everyday activities. Urban realism artists strive to capture the energy, diversity, and complexity of urban spaces, showcasing both the beauty and the challenges of city living. This genre emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as artists sought to move away from idealized or romanticized portrayals of urban life and instead present a more honest and unvarnished view of the modern city.
