Everything in life, and therefore in art, needs to be updated. In the 19th century, artists, including artists, and in the UK they would be called pre-Raphaelites, decided that modern art, which was academic at that time, was "hypocritical and artificial." They wanted to make art "free," and that meant being sincere, portraying nature correctly, and avoiding patterns. Three periods in the history of pre-Raphaelitism, as well as the work of artists who worked in the academic tradition, but did not escape the influence of the "powerful movement" of the pre-Raphaelites, are reflected in our book.
