What is art painting and what is painting art?

All paintings are art paintings, but nowadays, the word art is added in front of the painting, which generally refers to decorative paintings, that is, all paintings that are not realistic are called art paintings. (The earliest paintings were realistic, and later abstract paintings, impression paintings, and many general design and decorative paintings).

The artistic expressions of painting in various countries around the world are roughly divided into three categories: realistic, abstract and imagery.

Realism is also called figurative painting. Before the 20th century, Western painting was mostly realistic. Whether it is classical painting or contemporary painting, it is mainly based on meticulous depiction of objective things.

The rich colors and vivid portrayals have produced many outstanding oil painters and printmakers. Ancient China also advocated writing form, "Erya" said: "Painting, form."

But soon, Gu Kaizhi put forward the famous argument of "portraying the spirit", that is, not only to paint the likeness, but also to paint the spiritual outlook of things. In this regard, the theory of realistic painting art before the 20th century in the West is roughly the same as that of Chinese painting, which has both form and spirit, but the form of expression and the tools and materials used in painting are different.

After the 20th century, Western painting gradually evolved from realism to various modern schools, such as impressionism, fauvism, cubism, etc. Later, modern art, which began with Dadaism, reached its peak in the 50s of the 20th century and began to decline in the 60s. Dadaism argues:

Art is irrational exposure, with the slogan "To destroy is to create". The exponent of Dadaism was the Swiss Marcel Toussaint. Abstraction and abstraction are not the same thing.

In the history of Chinese painting, from the painted pottery period to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, painting is an abstract depiction, which is full of mythological and fantastical images, but it is very different from modern "abstraction". For example, the human-faced fish pattern on the painted pottery pot unearthed in Banpo, Xi'an, is an abstract figure. The human face wears a triangular hat with ornamentation on its head, two fish on each side of its cheeks and mouth, and its face is painted with decorative colors above the eyebrows and below the mouth.

Directly in front of the human face, there was a large fish. What does it mean? According to research, the human face figure is a disguised image of a clan society and tribesmen holding religious activities, and the fish-shaped patterns on the cheeks and corners of the mouth may be related to totem tattoos.

The fish is a reference to the desire of people to get plenty of food at the beginning of the hunting season. This imaginative abstract art expresses the emotions and understanding of primitive people about working life. There are also many silk paintings, which depict mythological characters and superstitious ideas full of romanticism.

They are abstract paintings that reflect a certain idea and human emotion in social life. Abstract art, which gives people reverie and beauty, is acceptable to people. There are many works of art in the West, such as late impressionist paintings, which are abstract art with a sense of life, and they are also very fascinating to look at.

We are only against the absurd works.

There is also a category of imagery painting. This kind of painting is unique to China, and it is an art that takes root, sprouts, and grows on the land of China. It is the crystallization of the Chinese national painting art for thousands of years, and it is the creation of beauty that blends calligraphy, poetry and painting.

This form reveals the essence of Chinese painting, imagery, which is an art that uses objects and images to convey the author's thoughts and emotions, and is an artistic expression of "the unity of things and me".

Painting is a type of plastic art, also known as visual art. It is an art that uses artistic means such as lines, colors, light, and composition to create a visual image that people can directly feel, and to reflect real life and express people's thoughts and feelings.

The art of painting is a form of expression that is faithful to the natural form of objective objects, and adopts highly generalized and refined figurative graphics to design the objective objects. It has distinctive image characteristics, which is the condensation and refinement, generalization and simplification of real objects, and highlights and exaggerates its essential factors.

On a technical level, painting is the act of using a surface as a support surface and adding color to it, which can be paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer or concrete, and the tool for adding color can be a paintbrush, a knife, a sponge or a paint sprayer.

At the level of artistic terminology, the meaning of painting also includes the use of this artistic act plus graphics, composition and other aesthetic methods to achieve the purpose of expressing the concepts and meanings that the practitioner wishes to express.

In other words, the art of painting is a generalized thing that expresses the thoughts that are engaged in it on paper and other materials.

The art of painting is a manifestation of human creativity, and it is an art form that expresses inner emotions and thoughts with brush and ink colors. The art of painting continues to develop with the changes of history, from ancient cave paintings to modern digital family paintings, which are always in a state of continuous exploration and innovation.

The charm of the art of painting is that it allows people to feel the emotions and thoughts of the artist by observing the paintings. The characters, scenes, lines, colors and other elements in the paintings often show very delicate and profound emotions and thoughts. Through his own feelings and thoughts, the artist Lao Sui Song turns the world in his heart into beautiful paintings, allowing the viewer to feel the emotional resonance of the artist and experience his own emotional world.

The art of painting is also a highly expressive language. Without the need for verbal communication, Shi Zheng's paintings are able to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers, allowing people to communicate through visual means. Whether it is on the spiritual level or the intellectual level, the art of painting has an important significance.

In short, the art of painting is a sublime art form that expresses inner emotions and thoughts with brush and ink colors. It is the most important part of human culture and the most beautiful part of life. I hope that more people can appreciate and love the art of painting, so that it will continue to shine in human culture.

The art of painting is a form of expression that is faithful to the natural form of the objective object, and the design of the objective object is carried out by using the figurative graphics that have been highly summarized and refined. It has distinctive image characteristics, which is the condensation and refinement, generalization and simplification of real objects, highlighting and exaggerating the essential factors of lead handwriting.
