Western Art – American Realism – The US Emotional Reality Unfolded
By Annette Labedzki
American Realism – The History
American Realism was a broad based art movement, spanning through fines arts, music, and literature. The period post American Civil War (1861-65), witnessed the rise of American Realism, which remained active until around early twentieth century. This coincided with a resurrection and the post-war nation rebuilding. During the same time, rapid industrialization, international trade, and cultural evolution fuelled the major socio-economic transformation in America. All through this transitory period, potent literary forces – Romanticism, Realism, and Naturalism – stood up against each other.
The Details
American Realism in art was a quest in capturing the life, as it was in an era of turmoil and regeneration. This art style gave preference to representation than the theme. In effect, American Realism detached itself from antiquities, fantastical concepts, or idealism of the yesteryears. There was a marked influence of the social, political, and economic undercurrents, where America was self-consciously redefining it image.
The Artists & the Artworks
American painter John French Sloan’s (1871-1951) oil work, ‘Sixth Avenue Elevated at Third Street’ (1928) features Sixth Avenue Elevated, the second elevated railway system in America after Ninth Avenue, a significant milestone in the development of transportation infrastructure. The 1911 oil painting by George Wesley Bellows (1882-1925), ‘New York’ was another remarkable work that portrays a busy day on the crowded city of New York with towering buildings in the background, standing as an epitome of American growth and prosperity.
Philadelphia based Thomas Cowperthwait Eakin (1844-1916) is known as one of the most profound Realists in the American history. His two most acclaimed works were ‘The Gross Clinic’ (1875) and ‘The Agnew Clinic’ (1889) featuring operations performed by two of the famous American surgeons, Dr. Samuel David Gross and Dr. David Hayes Agnew. A study of the differences between the two paintings brings out the evolution in medical sciences in a span of 14 years. The medical team in ‘The Agnew Clinic’ wears formal white coats, instead of civilian attire in ‘The Gross Clinic.’ The weeping female relative changes to a nurse in uniform, reflecting the increasing role of females at the work place. The surgical subject changes from leg surgery to mastectomy, a development of the 1880s. Use of antiseptics is also highlighted in ‘The Agnew Clinic.’
Among other leading names associated with American Realism included the artists from the ‘Ashcan School’ of arts from New York. Among others, Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Maurice Prendergast (1858-1924), Arthur B. Davies (1863-1928), William Glackens (1870-1938), John Sloan (1871-1951), Everett Shinn (1876-1953), and Robert Henri (1865-1921) made significant contributions in capturing the essence of developing America in the form of Realism.
