(Social) Realism: Bahamas




Maxwell Taylor

Maxwell Taylor is renowned for his ceramics and paintings, but it is in printmaking that he really excels. His woodcuts and etchings are in a challenging large format and he works with uncompromising social realism.

World (Social) Realist Art (Index of Countries)
This blog page is part of an ongoing project by artist and part-time lecturer Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin (http://gaelart.net/) to explore Realist / Social Realist art from around the world. The term Realism is used in its broadest sense to include 19th century Realism and Naturalism as well as 20th century Impressionism (which after all was following in the path of Courbet and Millet). Social Realism covers art that seeks to examine the living and working conditions of ordinary people (examples include German Expressionism, American Ashcan School and the Mexican Muralists).
