Realism (1850-1880) The second half of the 19th century has been called the positivist age. It was an age of faith in all knowledge which would derive from science and scientific objective methods which could solve all human problems. In the visual arts this spirit is most obvious in the widespread rejection of Romantic subjectivism and imagination in favor of Realism - the accurate and apparently objective description of the ordinary, observable world, a change especially evident in painting. Positivist thinking is evident in the full range of artistic developments after 1850- from the introduction of realistic elements into academic art, from the emphasis on the phenomenon of light, to the development of photography and the application of new technologies in architecture and constructions. Realism sets as a goal not imitating past artistic achievements but the truthful and accurate depiction of the models that nature and contemporary life offer to the artist. The artificiality of both the Classicism and Romanticism in the academic art was unanimously rejected, and necessity to introduce contemporary to art found strong support. New idea was that ordinary people and everyday activities are worthy subjects for art. Artists - Realists attempted to portray the lives, appearances, problems, customs, and mores of the middle and lower classes, of the unexceptional, the ordinary, the humble, and the unadorned. They set themselves conscientiously to reproduce all to that point ignored aspects of contemporary life and society - its mental attitudes, physical settings, and material conditions. Realism in France appears after the 1848 Revolution.

PEN America 6: Metamorphoses This talk was presented, in slightly different form, at a PEN Tribute to Gabriel García Márquez. Romantic Realism President Clinton mentioned that he met Gabo on Martha’s Vineyard; it was at a dinner party at our house when Gabriel García Márquez was visiting in the ’90s. That dinner party is etched in my memory for many reasons: the discussion during soup of the American embargo on Cuba; the recital during entrées by Bill Styron, Carlos Fuentes, President Clinton, and Gabriel García Márquez of their favorite books and childhood literary influences; the call from Belfast during dessert urging the President to get involved in the nascent Northern Ireland peace talks. But what I remember most is how aware I became of Gabo as a supreme, intense romantic. I don’t mean just his courtliness, his love of and attention to women (though I can’t deny the singular appeal of that). When I interviewed him in the late ’90s for Voice of America, he said that the only thing he could think of to save the terrible world we live in was to turn all power over to women. He said he thought love was the worst demon, the personal disaster without which he could not live. From his books, you know how remarkably well he observes and appreciates women of every age, the beautiful girls and the young women who grow old and are still loved, as Fermina is in Love in the Time of Cholera : His love awakened in him an overwhelming desire to salvage the sunken treasure from the Spanish galleon that was found, so that Fermina Daza could bathe in showers of gold. Years later, when he tried to remember what the maiden idealized by the alchemy of poetry really was like, he could not distinguish her from the heartrending twilights of those times. Even when he observed her unseen, during those days of longing when he waited for a reply to his first letter, he saw her transfigured in the afternoon shimmer of two o’clock in a shower of blossoms from the almond trees where it was always April regardless of the season of the year.
