Seen in conjunction with The Realist Tradition exhibition and publication, this book (the first of its kind to chronicle this tendency) revealed that there was an international naturalist movement in painting. Artists in France, England, the United States, Germany, Hungary, Belgium and Scandinavia were seen as working in a similar vein (at the same moment in time) and often giving significant credence to the ways in which photography and painting worked closely together.
