Howdy everyone, welcome to lesson two of "Intro to Art History". Today, we'll be going over the French art movement Nouveau Realisme, translated as New Realism. Starting in the 1960's, Nouveau Realisme was a reaction to post World War II Europe, a way to intersect life and art, challenge the illusion of art, as well as grounding art more in reality as opposed to a contrived idealization- something a lot of work at the time was prone to doing.Notable Artists: Yves Klein (founder, kind of), Arman, Jean Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle |
