Research Paper On Art Periods
Every new cultural movement appears as a reaction to the previous one, either opposing it or becoming a branch of it and opening new boundaries. Realism contraposed Romanticism and Impressionism in certain sense evolved from Realism. Social and political backgrounds always influence artistic movements which the example of the two movements discussed in this paper shows. Realism was a reaction to the Revilution of 1848 and global and groundbreaking social changes that followed. However, as social and political situation stabilized the movement subsided and was replaced by the Impressionism. The representatives of the latter also aimed at depicting reality but were choosing less sharp and provocative themes for depiction. Therefore cultural movements directly mirror changes that are happening in the world that is why they are so important for history and culture. One may tell the past and predict the future if he or she understands the mysterious language of art.
