In the field of Western art, what are the characteristics of abstract calligraphy and painting?

Abstract painting is based on intuition and imagination, rejecting any symbolic, literary, and illustrative expressions, and only synthesizing and organizing shapes and colors on the picture. Therefore, the pure form and color presented by abstract painting are similar to **.

The development trend of abstract painting can be roughly divided into:

One Geometric abstraction or cold abstraction . This is based on Cézanne's theory, through cubism, constructivism, neo-formism...And developed.

It is characterized by a tendency towards geometry. This school of painting can be represented by Mondrian.

Two lyrical abstraction or hot abstraction . This is based on Gauguin's artistic concept, developed through Fauvism and Expressionism, with a romantic tendency. This school of painting can be represented by Kandinsky.

The post-pictorial abstraction that emerged in the United States and Europe after Abstract Expressionism is actually a contemporary development of geometric abstraction. Because it is a relatively regular abstract painting with a clear shape and clear edges, it is called hard-edge abstraction by American critics. To summarize the various abstract art in Europe and the United States in the 20th century, all those that focus on emotional expression are called lyrical abstraction or thermal abstraction; Anything that focuses on the expression of ideas is called rational abstraction or cold abstraction.

Abstraction has its unique value, but it also has its limitations, it can only exist as a form of expression, and it can never be replaced by realism. Some Western abstract theorists have advocated that realism is outdated and that abstraction represents the direction of artistic development, which is not in line with the actual situation.

Compared with Western oil paintings, Chinese painting pays more attention to freehand and the artistic conception conveyed by a painting. Many painters who painted Chinese paintings would inscribe poems on their paintings, and Western oil paintings were relatively clean. There are also great differences between Chinese painting and Western oil painting in terms of the materials and paper on which they are painted.

Whether it is Chinese painting or Western oil painting, it is the art of the world, and they are all very beautiful. What is the difference between Chinese painting and Western oil painting? Here's what I think:

1. Chinese painting pays more attention to freehand.

Many Chinese painters pay more attention to freehand and the artistic conception conveyed by a painting when painting. As for whether this painting is similar to real life, Chinese painters do not pay special attention to whether the landscape is similar. Western oil paintings, on the other hand, pay more attention to realism, and many Western oil paintings are like scenes in reality after they are painted.

2. Chinese paintings generally have poets' inscriptions.

Many Chinese painters pay great attention to the combination of poetry and painting when painting, which makes many painters ask some poets to write poems for their paintings after painting a painting. Western oil paintings, on the other hand, pay more attention to the cleanliness and tidiness of the picture, and many Western oil paintings are clean and clean, and only the things painted by the painter will appear.

3. Chinese painting and Western oil painting are also very different in terms of painting materials and paper.

This is because the artistic conception pursued by Chinese painting and Western oil painting is different. Therefore, there is a big difference between Chinese painting and Western oil painting in terms of the choice of painting materials and paper. Later, when painting in China, painters generally used rice paper and brushes.

When painting oil paintings, oil painters generally use pigments and some hard materials.

It belongs to two different classifications, and then the paper of painting is different, Chinese painting is generally rice paper, and oil painting is oil canvas; The colors of oil paintings are more vivid and the colors used are more, but the colors used in Chinese paintings are particularly rare; Oil painting focuses on the thing itself, and Chinese painting expresses meaning in a freehand way.

Chinese painting is more contextual and has a high level of cultural accomplishment, which is also complementary to calligraphy, while Western oil painting is brightly colored, bold in color, and the message conveyed is also very fresh, and the paper materials of the two are very different.

Chinese painting can reflect some of the contents of traditional Chinese culture, and can make more people realize the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture. Chinese painting is the embodiment of Chinese characteristics and the carrier of traditional Chinese culture, and the Chinese dialect has a more artistic conception effect.

The style of Chinese painting is relatively simple, and it can also reflect the broad spirit of our country and some cultural heritage, while Western oil painting is relatively fresh, and will also pursue color matching and some technical things.

The requirements of painting are different, there will be different styles, different brushstrokes, different subjective colors, different cultural meanings, and different subject choices.

1. Expressing in a subjective way through shapes and colors, it is a way to describe the real subject in a simplified but natural way, breaking the limitations of art's original emphasis on realistic reproduction of themes, abstracting and recombining the basic elements of art, and then creating a new world of artistic development.

2. It has little or no similarity with natural objects, but has a strong formal composition, which is the abandonment of the appearance factors of things and the extraction of essential factors in people's cognitive thinking activities, denying the depiction of specific objects, not based on natural objects, only creating with basic painting language and formal factors, so as to express some kind of aesthetic experience or spiritual content such as vertical ideas and emotions.
