Concretism refers to an artistic and literary movement or style that emphasizes concrete and tangible elements as opposed to abstract concepts. In visual arts, it often involves the use of real, physical materials and forms, while in literature, it can focus on specific imagery and physical details rather than abstract ideas or emotions. The term is also associated with “concrete poetry,” where the arrangement of text is used to create a visual representation of the subject matter. Overall, concretism values the sensory experience and the materiality of the artwork or text.
