Realism, in art, is attempting to portray whatever subject matter truthfully and accurately, avoiding any artistic elements that would take the accuracy away. Based on an artist/teacher named Jeffrey, "The
goal of the impressionists artists was to understand and expand the
philosophy of aesthetics through painting. Impressionism was the
beginning of modern art. The labor of creation anew stimulated by
artistic vision and thought. They asked questions of the mind and
applied it to their creations."
