Modern Art Movements Realism - James Malpas

Twentieth-century Realist art is characterized by its diversity, rather than a common stylistic concern or manifestos. The common thread within this diversity is a commitment to the modern world and everything else as it is.

In his book Realism, James Malpas examines this rich artistic style, starting with Gustave Courbet's works from nineteenth-century France, extending to Georg Grosz's observations of urban life in Weimar Germany, to the paintings of Edward Hopper and Grant Wood in America, and to "social realism" in Stalin's Soviet Union.

He comprehensively explores the Realistic perspective, alongside French and Italian art between the two world wars, political paintings by Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, British Realists including Stanley Spencer, Lucian Freud, and David Hockney, and Pop Art artists such as Richard Hamilton and Andy Warhol.

This series introduces readers to the art movements that have shaped the last two centuries. It offers an illuminating perspective on the entire trajectory of modern art, both through its different periods and as a whole.
