What's It All About?

Join Curatorial Fellow Jean Stern as he discusses Realism, from Dutch 17th century paintings to the present. Often characterized by its accurate, detailed, and unembellished depiction of nature or of contemporary life, Realism rejects imaginative idealization in favor of a close observation of outward appearances. Learn the differences between Traditional and Contemporary Realism with masterwork examples of the development of Realism throughout history.
