Realism in the arts may be generally defined as the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic and supernatural elements.
The term originated in the 19th century, and was used to describe the work of Gustave Courbet and a group of painters who rejected idealization, focusing instead on everyday life

Realism or naturalism as the depiction of ordinary, everyday subjects
Realism and Naturalism were major points in which Americans began to industrialize themselves.
Realism began to move towards images of contemporary life and society 'as they were'.

The Gleaners (Jean-Francois Millet)
This painting is a great example of realism. It shows three peasant women gleaning a field for some scraps of wheat. They are bent over in hard work in the hope of finding a tiny bit of food. This painting was not well received by the French upper class when it was first exhibited in 1857 as it showed the harsh reality of poverty.

Young Women from the Village (Gustave Courbet)
The reality of this painting is in stark contrast to Romanticism. The three women are dressed in their country clothes and the landscape is rough and a little ugly. Even the cows are scraggly looking. The rich lady is handing some money to the poor girl while the others look on. Courbet was criticized for the "reality" of this painting, but that was what he found beautiful and was trying to capture.

The Fox Hunt (Winslow Homer)
In this painting Winslow Homer shows a hungry fox hunting in the snow for food. At the same time there are ravens which are so driven to hunger they are hunting the fox. There is nothing heroic or romantic about this painting, just the reality of what happens in the winter to hungry animals.

Realism vs Fauvism: How will you paint?
There is a big difference between Realism and Fauvism.

Realist painting is an art form that requires copying every single detail from the hair on the farmer to the wrinkles on the tree. It's making sure that the sky stays blue and the sea stays green. Thus, someone capable of following the rules – imitating every single detail and colour onto the canvas will be successful.

Fauvist painting on the other hand requires much less physical skill but will take much more creativity. Artists of this style emphasize strong colour over the representation of realistic subjects. This is when the sky can be red and the sea can be aquamarine. A much deeper level of skill is needed– the ability to creatively interpret the subject using colours to communicate an emotional response to a scene.
