| | MSN Encarta - Realism (art and literature) |
 | | Attempts at realism have been made periodically throughout history in all the arts; the term is, however, generally restricted to a movement that began in the mid-19th century, in reaction to the highly subjective approach of romanticism. | | | Realism (art and literature), in art and literature, an attempt to describe human behavior and surroundings or to represent figures and objects exactly as they act or appear in life. | | | This form of realism began in France in the novels of Gustave Flaubert and the short stories of Guy de Maupassant. |

| | Magical Realism: Definitions |
| | Magical realism is, more than anything else, an attitude toward reality that can be expressed in popular or cultured forms, in elaborate or rustic styles in closed or open structures¼.In magical realism the writer confronts reality and tries to untangle it, to discover what is mysterious in things, in life, in human acts. | | | The term magical realism was coined around 1924 or 1925 by a German art critic named Franz Roh what he called magical realism was simply painting where real forms are combined in a way that does not conform to daily reality. | | | Magical realism is truly postmodern in its rejection of the binarisms, rationalisms, and reductive materialisms of Western modernity. |

| | LRB Terry Eagleton : Pork Chops and Pineapples |
| | Realism is the artistic form that takes the life of the common people with supreme seriousness, in contrast to an ancient or neoclassical art which is static, hierarchical, dehistoricised, elevated, idealist and socially exclusive. | | | Realism is one of the most elusive of artistic terms. | | | Reality, being a messy, imperfect sort of affair, quite often fails to live up to our expectations of it, as when it allowed Robert Maxwell to slip quietly into the ocean rather than ending up in the dock. |

| | Realism is a recurrent theme in art which becomes a coherent movement only after 1850; and even then it struggles against the overwhelming popularity of Romanticism. | | | Americans with their preference for action over thought and for gritty realism were strongly drawn to his style of writing. | | | Realism has never entirely displaced the popular taste for Romantic art, as any number of hotel-room paintings, paperback book covers and calendars testify. |

| | Realism |
| | The antiliterary thrust of realism can be taken either as an assertion of the power of the real over the imagined, and hence of a determined world, or as an assertion of the variety and energy against the enclosing and determining forms of art. | | | Be careful that when you apply the term to a work of literature you refer to the nineteenth-century movement that believed novelists and painters should concentrate on describing the physical, material details of life. | | | [The best introductory study of realism as a movement in nineteenth-century painting, though it holds to a conservative art-historical view that places French art at the center of the universe.] |

| | At the opposite end, realism becomes prestigious in the minimalist garb of the generic film-festival art film (yes, a genre!). | | | He bleeds the made-up falsity of the screen, the literally painted persona of the actor, and in doing so acknowledges the illusions of art, the deception of all appearances, as opposed to plastering them over with the second illusion of fake stage blood pretending to fleshly catharsis. | | | In American popular art, however, nearly all unselfconsciousness is coded as realism: everything can be justified or criticized on the grounds of the actors' believability alone. |

| | The Early Realists |
| | As in France the realism of Balzac, of Dumas fils, of Augier, gave place to the naturalism of Flaubert, of Becque, and the dramatists of the Théâtre Libre, so in Italy, Ferrari and Torelli gave place to Verga and Capuana. | | | THE literature of Italy of the nineteenth century, like that of all literary countries of the same period, exhibits the two strains of realism, -- one the attempt to produce the effect of actual life, the other the attempt to reproduce that actuality of life itself, sometimes distinguished as realism and naturalism. | | | Realism did not by any means begin its life as a bantling flung naked on the rocks; as a matter of fact it inherited a rather comfortable property from its predecessor, the Romanticism which took its rise about 1825, and which went through its several phases within the fifty years following that date. |

| | Philosophical realism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This particular dispute over realism is largely moot in contemporary philosophy, and has been for centuries. | | | This can be called "realism about universals." Universals are terms or properties that can be applied to many things, rather than denoting a single specific individual--for example, red, beauty, five, or dog, as opposed to Socrates or Athens. | | | Philosophical realism refers to various philosophically unrelated positions, in some cases diametrically opposed ones, which are termed "realism." In large measure this depends on which debates are active at the time, and may be encouraged by the fact that a philosophical position often looks stronger if one attaches the word "real" to it. |
