Intimism

Intimism is an art movement that emerged in the late 19th century, focusing on depicting everyday, private scenes of domestic life. Artists aimed to capture quiet moments—such as family gatherings, interiors, and personal spaces—with a sense of immediacy and emotional intimacy. The style often used soft, natural light and simple compositions to evoke a warm, familiar feeling. Intimism emphasizes personal, relatable subjects, encouraging viewers to connect with the serenity and authenticity of ordinary life. It reflects a desire to explore the beauty and significance of everyday moments beyond grand or dramatic themes.
