Traditionals

The Traditionals was a Lovian art movement that begun in 1885 and ended somewhere around 1919. It was a reaction against impressionism. A group of older artist found that we should respet the traditional rules of painting, and art in general. They called themselves 'the Traditionals' and opened an exhibition hall in Newhaven. A well known traditional was the Lovian painter Antoine Van Dyck.

Movement and ideas
The first known art movement in Lovia was the French impressionism; a popular movement in Europe, the United States and Lovia. As the impressionist art became more exeburant, opposition grew. The Lovian artists felt a need to an own art movement. It were the fotographer Atget who first opposed against the impressionism and, later on, the surrealism. he founded the movement in 1893, how well trails of the movements ideas can be found already in 1885.

The Traditionals see art as a medium of registrating reality.
