-'''Realism''' in the [[visual arts]] and [[literature]] is the depiction of subjects as they appear in [[everyday life]], without [[embellishment]] or interpretation. The term is also used to describe works of art which, in revealing a [[truth]], may emphasize the [[ugly]] or [[sordid]].  
-Realism also refers to a mid-19th century cultural movement with its roots in [[France]], where it was a very popular art form around the mid to late 1800’s. It came about with the introduction of photography - a new visual source that created a desire for people to produce things that look “objectively real”. Realism was heavily against [[romanticism]], a genre dominating French literature and artwork in the mid 19th century. Undistorted by personal bias, Realism believed in the ideology of [[Reality|objective reality]] and revolted against exaggerated emotionalism. Truth and accuracy became the goals of many Realists. +'''Realism''' takes on various meanings, depending on the context in which the term is used and is always related to some form of [[reality]]. In [[philosophy]], realism relates to manifestations of [[philosophical realism]], the belief that reality exists independently of observers. [[Scientific realism]] and [[Realism (arts)|realism in the arts]] are two of a number of different senses the words take in other fields. In this broad sense realism frequently contrasts with [[idealism]].

Realism takes on various meanings, depending on the context in which the term is used and is always related to some form of reality. In philosophy, realism relates to manifestations of philosophical realism, the belief that reality exists independently of observers. Scientific realism and realism in the arts are two of a number of different senses the words take in other fields. In this broad sense realism frequently contrasts with idealism.
