Social Realism is an artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century, focusing on the everyday lives of working-class people and social issues. It aims to highlight the struggles and injustices faced by the marginalized, often depicting scenes of labor, poverty, and community life.
This movement spans various forms of art, including painting, literature, and film. Notable figures include Diego Rivera and Dorothea Lange, who used their work to advocate for social change and raise awareness about the plight of the underprivileged. Social Realism remains influential in contemporary discussions about art and society.
