Realism versus Pop Art In this life‚ there are many forms of art or art “movements” to speak of. How we interpret art is a very subjective thing. What a person sees and feels when looking at art greatly depends on their upbringing‚ their values‚ and even their mood at the time of viewing. Could something dark and lacking color be art?

In each period of art history‚ there is a story. For Baroque art‚ the story is why the period has been classically misunderstood. In the early 1600s‚ artists and intellectuals worked in academies to explore humanism begun in the Renaissance‚ classical thought (i.e. Plato and Aristotle)‚ and new trends in human thought and expression.
