Realism (Style and Civilization) (Used)

By (author): Linda Nochlin. Linda Nochlin's 1971 study sets Realism within its social and historical context, examining the movement through 19th-century painters including Courbet, Manet, Degas, and Monet alongside the Pre-Raphaelites. Across its chapters — on the nature of Realism, death imagery in mid-century art, and the "heroism of modern life" — Nochlin explores the paradoxes at the heart of Realist art.
