Realism- as a style of work focuses on the accuracy of details that
depicts and somehow mirrors reality. There is little room or imagination

in this movement since emphasis is placed in observable traits that can

concretize through artworks. Realism was heavily influenced or

hellenistic Greek culture since most artworks during that period placed

emphasis on the human body.

Example:

1. A burial at Ornans by Jean Desire Gustve Courbet ( 1849-50)

2. The Gleaners three women by Jean Francois Millet.

Abstraction- Abstract means “ to move away or separate.”

Abstract art moves away from showing things as they really are.

its body as it flies through the air,so he represented those qualities in

his sculptural work.
