Detailed Description
Positivism is a 19th-century art movement that emphasized the use of scientific method to observe and record the natural world. The positivist artist sought to capture the world as it really was, without interpretation or personal bias. Positivism was developed in reaction to the highly romantic and subjective art of the previous generation. The positivist artist instead relied on empirical evidence and scientific observation to inform their work. Famous positivist artists include the French painter Gustave Courbet, who is considered the father of the movement. Other notable positivist artists include the American painter Edward Hopper and the British painter J.M.W. Turner. Positivist paintings are characterized by their realistic style and objective perspective. They often depict scenes of everyday life, such as people going about their daily activities or landscapes. Positivism was a short-lived movement that fell out of favor in the early 20th century. However, its influence can still be seen in the work of many modern artists.
