concretism
Concretism is a term used in various fields with slightly different meanings. Generally, it refers to the preference, expression, or assertion of concrete, tangible, or practical concepts, ideas, or things as opposed to abstract or theoretical ones. This can involve the excessive emphasis on the physical or material realm, or the representation of objects in their most perceptible and tangible form. It is often used in the context of specific art movements, literature, and philosophies where concrete representation is prioritized.
