Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Literary Movement in France During the Nineteenth Century Then, we have Romanticism with its ascendant ego and incurable melancholy; more general in its admittance of the details of reality and always universal in its conception of the ideal; liberal in the application of formulas as well as spiritual and sentimental in its Christianity. Finally, we have Realism with its triumphant ego and enervating Pessimism; as exclusive in its acceptance of the real as it is arrogant in its suppression of the ideal ; no less scrupulous in its superstition for form than absolute and decadent in its negation of truths which do not admit of empirical verification. Here, as M. Pellissier shows, Classicism is inspired by Greco-Latin antiquity; Romanticism turns to mediæval art; Realism confines itself to the data of the present. Classicism, aiming at general truth, expresses the philosophical spirit; Romanticism, pursuing interior truth, is pervaded by artistic and religious sentiment; Realism, seeking only exterior truth, is the essence of the scientific spirit. Humanity only was admitted by ancient and Classic art. The nineteenth century, however, has given nature full aesthetic expression, first in a more subjective, later in a more objective form. Indeed, the constant advance of nature in modern art is one of the chief epoch marks of our century. Generally speaking, with Classicism it is the triumph of art over nature ; Romanticism aims to conciliate art and nature; with Realism it is the triumph of nature over art. There is no purely objective art. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
