"Life Studies"

"Life Studies" can refer to artworks, particularly from the 20th century, that focus on realistic depictions of living subjects, such as people or everyday scenes, emphasizing an honest, unidealized portrayal of human life. It often highlights genuine human emotions, interactions, and the complexities of daily existence. The term emphasizes a truthful, observational approach, capturing the essence of real life rather than stylized or purely aesthetic representations. In a broader sense, "Life Studies" can also mean reflections or analyses of human experiences, drawn from direct observation and personal insight.
