Submission declined on 27 August 2024 by Utopes (talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.

Comment: One source is insufficient; the single paragraph is just about as long as a dictionary definition, and would require more sources and content before being published. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:09, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Urban Realism is a cultural and artistic movement that developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a reaction to the rapid urbanization and industrialization of cities, particularly in Europe and the United States. The movement is characterized by its focus on the everyday realities of urban life, often highlighting the struggles of the working class and marginalized communities. Urban Realism sought to present an unvarnished, sometimes gritty portrayal of city life, contrasting with the more idealized representations of the time. Artists associated with this movement, such as those in the Ashcan School, used a dark and muted color palette to emphasize the mood and atmosphere of the urban environment, reflecting the social, economic, and political challenges of modern city living.[1]
