An ‘Ism’ Overview. - Realism vs. Surrealism

Realism and surrealism are two distinct art movements that have emerged at different times and have different philosophies. Realism is an art movement that emerged in the mid-19th century, while surrealism emerged in the early 20th century. The former focuses on depicting the world as it is, while the latter seeks to depict the world as it appears in dreams and the subconscious.

Realism is characterized by its attention to detail and the representation of everyday life. Realist painters sought to depict ordinary people engaged in their daily activities, such as farmers working in the fields, factory workers on the job, or families eating dinner together. Realism also seeks to depict the world as it truly is, without any idealization or romanticization. This is why realist paintings often appear to be stark and even mundane.

Surrealism, on the other hand, is characterized by its rejection of rationality and its embrace of the irrational and the subconscious. Surrealist painters sought to depict the world as it appears in dreams, visions, and the subconscious mind. This is why surrealist paintings often appear to be dreamlike, with strange and unusual objects and creatures. Surrealism also sought to challenge traditional notions of beauty and the concept of the "perfect" artwork.

Despite their differences, realism and surrealism share some similarities. Both movements seek to convey a message or idea through their artwork, whether it be the representation of everyday life or the depiction of the subconscious. Both also seek to push the boundaries of art and challenge traditional notions of what art should be.

However, there are also some key differences between realism and surrealism. Realism seeks to depict the world as it truly is, while surrealism seeks to depict the world as it appears in dreams and the subconscious. Realism is also concerned with the representation of everyday life, while surrealism is concerned with the exploration of the subconscious mind.

In terms of technique, realism is characterized by its attention to detail and its use of traditional painting techniques. Realist painters sought to create an accurate representation of the world, using techniques such as perspective, chiaroscuro, and the use of natural light. Surrealism, on the other hand, is characterized by its use of unconventional techniques and the exploration of the subconscious. Surrealist painters often used techniques such as automatic drawing, which involved allowing the subconscious to guide the artist's hand, and collage, which involved the juxtaposition of unrelated images to create a new and unusual image.

In conclusion, realism and surrealism are two distinct art movements that have emerged at different times and have different philosophies. Realism seeks to depict the world as it truly is, while surrealism seeks to depict the world as it appears in dreams and the subconscious. Both movements seek to convey a message or idea through their artwork, and both seek to challenge traditional notions of what art should be. However, they differ in their approach to technique and their focus on subject matter.

To a subset of people interacting with any photography after like 1960, I promise you: not every photo deliberately shot in black is a conspiratorial attempt to make the past seem further away. Yeah, even the ones taken today. Sometimes people make artistic choices.

not saying vampires are real but i think Daniel Molloy gets way too much shit . like if i was a pulitzer prize winning journalist in my seventies and some guy called me and was like im a vampire want an interview i wouldn't hesitate either. fuck man sure tell me about being a vampire. i'll believe you

🎆 magical-swiftie

reading Interview with the Vampire rn and Claudia and Madeline are sooo Long Face core

#now that i think of it a lot of tvl's songs fit this book really well #like #'she gave me life I gave her death'??? # that's so them!!!

🏞️ girlblogg1ng

btw if you're still listening to the vampire lestat, unfollow me now. and like, seriously consider why you're giving plays to a guy who appropriates ancient egyptian history for his vampire schtick, it's honestly sickening

#the vampire lestat #tvl #maintagging because people need to see this honestly #.txt

🌄sampire

keep seeing ppl try to cancel tvl for things hes said to his fans or how he talks about ancient egyptian mythology and not that song where he talks about fucking his mother. like im not crazy right he wrote a whole song about how he fucked his mother

💟 stingorarr

"we are your children/but what do you give us/is your silence/a better gift than the truth?" sounds like it should be some ancient Greek poetry but it's literally in a song by the vampire lestat!!!

it just hits so hard... like your parents gave you nothing but maybe the truth would be more unbearable than silence...

Based on your likes!

Hey, Tumblr, I need a little help here?

So, my best friend has been acting a little weird lately. Like, his sleep schedule has gotten really strange (stranger than normal 😅), and I haven't seen him without sunglasses on in a week?

His diet has changed, too, like he used to always be snacking whenever I'd call him, but now he doesn't eat anything that I can see.

He even cancelled our tickets to ComicCon!! I've been waiting to meet up with him for years, and now he's just bailed on me?!? I'm mad, but honestly more worried than anything....

mmm tbh the only reason i *don't* believe vampires are real is because if *i* was interviewing two vampires to write a book about their life? i would not be leaving that house without their fangs in my neck and eternal life. just saying

understandable but have you considered. if I went to interview two vampires and got immortality and vampire sex out of that deal I wouldn't go around letting everyone know :/

gay marriage was legalized in the US in 2015, taiwan in 2019, south africa 2006, australia 2017, new zealand 2013 and by the time of your interview with malloy, it was legalized in 19 countries in europe; my point being, did either you or armand ever bring up the potential of marriage in your time together?

No, While Armand had his ways there was no legal "Armand" under any government and I had been legally dead for 71 years to the world by the time it had caught on to equality in that way. besides marriage is a decidedly human act, Armand was my companion for 77 years with little room for another title between us.

[depointeoflouis]

are you schizophrenic, louis?

The bond between a maker and his sired is more complicated than to be lost in a rudimentary explanation of illness, I do not know if the visions of Lestat were that of a soul lost or my own thoughts read aloud in his voice. but I know, It was not just his image disillusioned but the very feel of him in a room, overwhelming in a way only he can manage.

[depointeoflouis]

bruh u fr know lestat

Yes, I fr know Lestat.
