  Naturalism in Art
Taken in a historical sense, "naturalism in art" designates certain fairly obvious features to be met with in the fine arts and in the literature of various periods.
The foregoing rapid survey of naturalism's ups and downs in the evolution of art--of European art, for there is no parallel current in the art of extra-European cultures--has told us next to nothing about the essence of naturalism in art, nor about its function in the process of artistic creation.
Naturalistic works of art seemingly or actually distract attention from the artistic accomplishment as such; but surely, so to distract us, the artist must have managed some especially subtle or skillful reshuffling between what we think of as the "materials of art" and their "spiritualization." Great naturalistic works are perhaps the most mysterious of all.

Naturalism was more immediate in terms of the photograph, though it could still be arranged to look natural, but an opposition between Naturalism and Pictoralism is sometimes implied.
Naturalism's art drew from the Impressionist painters, with their direct method, which meant in photography light and grain effects (which the medium then suggested) and using soft focus as well as sharp (not exclusive to Naturalism of course).
Science and art were separate, he thought, yet his naturalistic photographs of people in mainly East Anglican rural scenes and landscapes were obviously artistic (and he wanted to keep beauty) and he did see that science needs the art of clear selection and arrangement and Art needs truthful nature.

 Arnold Hauser, The Social History of Art: Old Stone Age
The monuments of primitive art that survive suggest quite clearly, anyhow, and with ever increasing force as research progresses, that naturalism has the prior claim, so that it is becoming more and more difficult to maintain the theory of the primacy of an art remote from life and nature.
Palaeolithic art apparently takes possession without a fight of the unity of visual perception achieved by modern art only after a century-long struggle; it certainly improves its methods, but does not change them, and the dualism of the visible and the invisible, or the seen and the merely known remains absolutely foreign to it.
The best proof that this art was concerned with a magical and not an aesthetic effect, at least in its conscious purpose, lies in the fact that the animals in these pictures were often represented as pierced by spears and arrows or were actually shot at with such weapons after the completion of the work.

 Romanticism
Her idea that "Romanticism is a category of art based on the recognition that man possesses the faculty of volition" boils down to claiming that Romantic novels and plays emphasize plot and value-conflicts, which could be said of Sophocles just as much as of Hugo.
As I noted in my essay A Philosophy for Living on Earth (footnote 6), this view comes dangerously close to denying that naturalism is art at all, because on her theory the essence of art consists in stylization.
But naturalistic art is art - it's just art that attempts to deny the selectivity of art, so that the artist shirks his responsibility to exercise choice in regard to subject and lets "society" do the choosing.

Realism in art and literature may be described as an attempt to describe human behaviour and surroundings or to represent figures and objects exactly as they act or appear in life.
Attempts at realism have been made periodically throughout history in all the arts; the term is, however, generally restricted to a movement that began in the mid-19th century, in reaction to the highly subjective approach of Romanticism.
