Why are there so few Western oil paintings with young male themes?

Because Western oil painters are almost all men, who would want to stare at the same sex for so long on the premise that there are female models in addition to painting people who are related to them (fathers, sons)?

Didn't you? I think it's a lot.

Actually, there are also many other men, young ones, you can look at Freud, many, many.

Women have warm feminine beauty.

Ha ha. Even Chinese paintings rarely have young men as the theme

As a rule. Beauty is a landscape.

Apparently few people say. Beautiful men are a landscape. Although he too. For now. Ha ha.

The painting itself is to convey the image in the painter's brain, this image ** in the name, region, era and the personality of the painter, what you see is probably classical painting, most of them omit too much body hair in order to pursue a solemn look, contemporary and modern contemporary painting is more in pursuit of detachment from the painting program, more attention to the personality language of the painting itself, so there are many expressions of body hair, such as Freud in the United Kingdom, Andrew Wise in the United States, Shen Ling in China, Mao Yan and other painters will use the expression of body hair to increase the appeal of their works...

Don't Westerners have the following?

Why are there almost no in Western statues?

For the sake of aesthetics? Why is this true for the realistic style of the sculptor?

This is related to the aesthetics of people at that time, who admired the beauty of the human body, and God was the embodiment of beauty. Moreover, the gods they think have the same emotions and desires as mortals, so this also makes the gods more intimate.

There is a certain truth in what is said upstairs, and it is the historical and cultural factors that affect the West's emphasis on realism, the East's emphasis on freehand, Western painting is influenced by the Renaissance, the examination of people and human nature, the promotion of humanities, opposition to God, etc., make Western paintings based on realism, not only the human body, but also their landscape paintings, still life, are mainly realistic, and the purpose of advocating humanity is achieved by depicting the beauty of the human bodyAnd they also like to do this.

Oriental freehand through the depiction of nature, mountains and rivers to express the painter's emotions Focus on a spiritual thing There is also a synthesis of the opinions of the above buildings, the old is almost the same, the landlord is so rich, and he can't find a place to use it, just give it to me, thank you in advance.

Westerners focus on resemblance.

It's like a watercolor oil painting.

Color: Light and dark.

They are all very focused.

Oriental paintings, on the other hand, focus on a kind of momentum.

A mood of mood. Like Wang Wei's splash of ink.

It's a kind of artistic conception.

Jung Sub's bamboo. It's a spirit of perseverance.

There is also the majestic momentum of "Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers".

It's metaphor.

It's not about plain expression.

I think it's a matter of cultural differences.

An idealism.

A realism.

Personal understanding.

The West was more influenced by the Renaissance, and oil painting arose from that time, and the most important idea of the Renaissance was human rights.

This was decisive in the Renaissance at the time, leading to cultural differences.

Western oil painting is very different from Eastern ink painting, the former focuses on realism, and the latter focuses on freehand.

Western painting respects people, and Eastern painting respects landscapes.

Westerners believe that man is the master, while Easterners worship nature.

Western painting expresses objective facts, while Eastern painting embodies subjective thoughts.

This is because Westerners are more open than Easterners, and Easterners will think that the human body is not good and not open enough, which is also a human rights issue?

Chinese painting is generally called danqing, which is mainly painted on silk and paper and framed scroll paintings, referred to as "Chinese painting". It is a painting created with brushes, inks and pigments unique to China, in accordance with the long-established forms of expression and artistic rules. Chinese painting (Xuan painting), that is, painting with pigments on rice paper and silk, is the main form of oriental art.

an oil painting A painting in oils) is a type of painting made on canvas, linen, cardboard or wood by mixing pigments with quick-drying vegetable oils (linseed oil, poppy oil, walnut oil, etc.). The thinners used in painting are volatile turpentine and dry linseed oil. The pigment attached to the picture has a strong hardness, and when the picture dries, it can maintain its luster for a long time.

With the hiding power and transparency of the pigment, the depicted object is fully expressed, with rich colors and strong three-dimensional texture. Oil painting is one of the main types of Western painting.

One, the pigment is different, one is ink, the other is oil. The second one is drawn on paper and the other on cloth. Western oil paintings have a more three-dimensional sense of layering. You can feel a thick layer of pigment with your hands. Hard-boned.

One is Chinese and the other is Western.

There are obvious differences between Chinese and Western paintings in the use of color and the perception of color. Traditional Chinese painting uses ink to mix colors, which is very different from Western painting with oil color to create a three-dimensional sense, light and dark perspective, etc., and seeks visual effects in multiple sets of contradictions such as thick and thin, deep and shallow, light and thick. In ancient Chinese painting theory, it is believed that ink has five colors:

cohesive, heavy, light, clear, etc.; Ink is divided into six colors: black, white, dry, wet, thick, and light. Traditional Chinese painting does not distinguish between black and white, there is no yin and yang, light and dark; Dry and wet are not prepared, it is not verdant and beautiful; The shade is not distinguished, and there is no concave and convex distance.

Chinese painting art feels the myriad changes of color in an intuitive way, while Western painting art, on the whole, tends to be more geometrical and rational in the optical sense.

Oil painting originated in the West.

Oil painting first originated in Europe, about the 15th century by the Dutch invented, using linseed oil to mix pigments, painted on a treated cloth or board, because the oil paint does not change color after drying, a variety of color blending will not become dirty, painters can paint rich, realistic colors. The oil paint is opaque and has a strong covering power, so it can be covered layer by layer from deep to shallow when painting, so that the painting produces a three-dimensional effect. Oil painting is suitable for creating large, epic masterpieces.

It has become the main painting method in the history of Western painting, and the surviving Western paintings are mainly oil paintings. The vast majority of the mural works are also made with oil paints and creative methods. In the late 19th century, due to the development of science and technology, many new materials were applied to the field of oil painting, such as acrylic paints, paints, etc.

There are a lot of materials in the library, flipping through the history of Chinese and foreign art and oil painting.

Painters have different outlooks on life and history, different painting contents, and different emphasis.
