Trend painting
The term tendency painting is assigned to a painting that reveals a political direction, ideology or morality with propaganda or party intentions. In literary studies there is the analogous term tendency literature . The concept of art expressed in the phrase L'art pour l'art is seen as a contrast to trend painting . The view, which is based on the principle of historia scribitur ad narrandum, non ad probandum and is often held in historical studies and history painting , that history must be shown in its “historical truth”, but should not be reproduced in a tendentious manner, is understood as an antithesis to tendency painting. In 19th century art criticism , the term was used as a pejorative term , for example in connection with Carl Huebner's picture The Silesian Weavers or with Carl Friedrich Lessing's “Husbildern” (e.g. The Hussite Sermon ).
