Realism is “that
which does not shrink from the
|
|
|
commonplace
(although art dreads the
|
|
|
commonplace) or
from the unpleasant (although
|
|
the aim of art
is to give pleasure) in its effort to
|
|
|
depict things as
they are, life as it is” (229) and
|
|
|
is used “in
opposition to conventionalism, to
|
|
|
idealism, to the
imaginative, and to
|
|
|
sentimentalism” (222).
