Document Summary
Realism: important aspect of our sense of ethics as citizens in a world in which images proliferate as forms of communication and expression. Realism linked to varied set of conventions and approaches. Abstract images and art movements incorporate some elements of realism: explicitly rejecting other elements strongly associate with realism. Formal aspects of photos allow us to make assumptions about when the image was produced: even if we know nothing of its origins. What the subjects in the photo are dressed in. The quality of the photo: when the photographic process was not as well refined as it is compared to modern day technology. Earlier set of approaches to the representation of human form: older forms and meanings make new meanings in their contemporary context, produced qualities of naturalism, realism, or beauty. Changes in aesthetics and styles of naturalist or realist images over time: follow the development of different ways of seeing knowing, different views about value and meaning.
