[No title] Espousing an approach to art that strove to achieve a realism in nature and a ‘genuine art’, exemplified by the work of the Italian Realists, they looked to the early masters as an inspiration. Therefore, even the kitchen-sink realism of Loach’s Family Life (1971), which holds forth its poverty-level depression as an illuminating lamp of Truth, would be disqualified for its “novelistic” use of the voiceover and discontinuous sound. But firstly, for true realism to transpire, all editing should be disallowed theoretically, for any cutting will artificially intrude upon the Pythagorean progression of mathematically linear time. www.lycos.com /info/realism--arts.html   (305 words)

Socialist Realism   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The adoption of "Socialist Realism" by the first All Union Congress of Soviet Writers (17 August-1 September 1934) was a seminal event in Russian cultural history on a par with Peter's embassy to the west or Catherine's Instruction to her legislative commission. Yet equivalence between words in the press and their realization by writers and artists was never exact.[10] The phrase had one set of meanings as it was articulated in the newspapers, another at the congress, and a third in the world of the arts, where it was gradually enriched with various practices and experiences. The critical interpretative context for socialist realism as it was developed in the press was not a single-minded totalitarian project, a series of political interventions, a body of aesthetic principles and practices, or past traditions of Russian literature and criticism. afronord.tripod.com /thr/srealism.html   (8478 words)
