Different Concepts of Eastern and Western Landscape Photography

(1) East

In China, the relationship between man and nature is harmonious and unified. China people are often an inseparable part of nature in the relationship between man and nature, and man and nature are integrated. Reflected in the aesthetic consciousness, the aesthetic subject puts into the aesthetic object, and the object melts into the subject, reaching the realm of "harmony between man and nature" where things and I forget each other. Therefore, the main object of China ancient art is landscape.

China's plastic arts pay more attention to philosophy. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, in and out of the world, affect the artist's life course and artistic course, and also affect the artist's artistic creation method-realism or freehand brushwork. Confucian scholars pursue WTO entry and emphasize realism; However, bumpy people believe in Buddhism and are beyond the world. When creating art, they do not seek the shape of God, but pursue abstract meaning. "Literati painting" is characterized by freehand brushwork. China painters broke through the shackles of fixed light source's focus perspective and light and dark modeling, and created scattered perspective and line drawing methods to create images. Make bold choices when painting, and keep the image characteristics that can best express my spiritual temperament. There is a big blank in the picture, which forms a wonderful empty inspiration and gives the audience room for imagination and re-creation. These traditions have a great influence on China's landscape photography. In ancient China, the art of expression was developed, with poems expressing ambition, words attached to feelings and paintings respecting "meaning beyond the oak tree". Poets and painters touch the scenery in beautiful photos of nature. "Mountaineering is full of feelings, while watching the sea is full of meaning." In artistic creation, the pursuit of the realm of scene blending. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Changling put forward the concept of artistic conception, and in modern times, Wang Guowei vigorously promoted artistic conception and became a master of artistic conception theory. In his view, artistic conception is the blending and unity of emotion and scene, meaning and image. Artistic conception has become the core category of China's traditional aesthetics. It is the embodiment of the artist's noble personality and the highest aesthetic realm of lyric works. Artistic conception also exists in China's landscape photography.

It is the core category of China's traditional aesthetics to pursue "harmony between man and nature" and abstract meaning and emphasize artistic conception. Therefore, the traditional oriental cultural thoughts, such as the unity of heaven and man, the golden mean, the likeness of spirit and the artistic conception outside the form, are still the keynote of our landscape photography aesthetics, and their significance is self-evident. The liberation of an idea from real life (Li Yuanyu). Liu Bannong believes that artistic conception in works is far more important than photography techniques and techniques.

Obviously, the interaction, influence, infiltration and combination of landscape photography and China's paintings not only created more artistic forms and styles, but also presented rich and colorful artistic characteristics. At the same time, they absorb, complement and blend with each other, which has important cultural significance and aesthetic value for strengthening artistic expression, enriching the diversity of formal structure, expanding the performance field and screen capacity, improving the artistic depth of works and broadening people's aesthetic photos and accumulation.

(B) the West

Drawing lessons from western photography concepts (or some concepts of western culture) is indispensable to manipulate photography as a "park product"

Western art emphasizes human reproduction of themes, reproduction and truth-seeking, absorbing scientific achievements and creating artistic images similar to reality. The most classic of his classical art theory is "Imitation Theory". Imitation is the imitation and imitation of objective things. Imitation theory later developed into a typical theory. Balzac thinks: "Typical is a sample of class". When discussing typicality, belinsky put forward the proposition of "familiar stranger". Engels' important exposition on the relationship between typical image and typical environment contributed to the typical theory.

The composition of western photographers is full of frames, single-point perspective, using light and shadow to create three-dimensional images, emphasizing texture, shape and color. These are not only the contents of China's current landscape photography practice, but also the contents that need to be clarified in the theoretical category.

At the same time, incorporating critical spirit, contradictory ideas of human society in social and natural, and strongly expressing personal experience and sacred thoughts of human nature into landscape photography can promote or change the rational structure of landscape photography, break through the modeling and composition mode of traditional painting, and turn "good-looking" into "interesting" landscape photography.
