Talk:Social realism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social Realism, is not a style nor a form it is a context or content of an art work. SR is also a form of "sociopolitical commentary" using art works as the vehicle. Social Realists believed that art is not only for decoration but can also be used as an instrument of attack and defense against an enemy. How... enlightening. 02:59, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
I find very arguable that "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso is a social realist painter, because I never read in any place this. User:Mistico
[edit] Literary Social Realism
I think this article needs to be modified to include more of the literary aspect of social realism, with such authors as Henry James, Edith Wharton, and Anzia Yezierska. Their contributions were not insignificant.
