What is Realism?

Realism has meant different things at different times...

Generally speaking, Realism is an intent to portray ordinary contemporary life, with attention to individual and regional eccentricities.

Modern painters use a direct visual language of current iconography and symbols, inspired by photographic forms - a language easily understood by almost everyone in our culture.
