社会主义现实主义(Socialist Realism)是以宣传社会主义和共产主义思想为政治目的,采用写实主义手法的一种风格样式,起源于苏联,进而主导了冷战时期其他社会主义国家的主流艺术。社会主义现实主义和社会现实主义(Social Realism)既有联系又有区别,区别在于社会现实主义是更为宽泛的一种艺术形式,它真实反映民众所关心或批判的社会问题。而社会主义现实主义是被斯大林制度化的政治苏维埃艺术,目的是赞颂工人阶级为实现自由解放所付出的英勇斗争。 Socialist Realism is a style style adopting the realist approach with the purpose of propagating socialism and communism as the political goal. It originated in the Soviet Union and led the mainstream art in other socialist countries during the Cold War. Socialist realism is different from social realism in that social realism is a broader art form that truly reflects the social issues that people care about or criticize. Socialist realism, however, is a political Soviet art that was institutionalized by Stalin in order to praise the heroic struggle the working class paid to liberate China.
