It actually went through stages. With the rough conditions and harsh living conditions during this time period. (Civil War, Industrial Revolution, Potato Famine) People began to reject the older form of art and expression which stressed reason and progression which came from the ideals of the Enlightenment. Instead, artists, poets, musicians, ect. began a new form of expression known as romanticism which was basically designed to erupt emotions in the readers, listeners, ect. An example would be Beethoven's symphonies.

After that came a period of realism which was all about exposing the world as it was and not glorifying it. An example of one of these works is Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist.

Finally, it went into an era of impressionism which was really started because painters wanted to compete with the new device known as the camera which was becoming more and more popular. It was easier and did everything that a painter could do, but better.

Impressionism allowed people to see things figuratively and literally in a different light. Painters like Van Gough experimented with bright colors and quick strokes of the brush. Often painters painted the same scene over and over, but at different times of the day to create a different feel. Something that a camera during that time period could not.

This is about as much as I know on the subject.
