This chapter separates Realistic, Expressionistic, and Abstract art into different categories (which seems to be very natural, these days- to separate and segregate).

Isn’t there a way where we can find all three of these types of art in a single work? If so, since you are able to paint an abstract work with the inspirations and influences of realism and expressionism, shouldn’t it be mentioned in a collection such as “Understanding Art” that they may be able to/ can play into each other?
