Oil painting style photography

We say that art is interlinked. This is particularly prominent between oil painting art and photography art.

As we know, oil painting originated from the European Renaissance in the15th century. With the appearance of oil painting, classical realistic oil painting is presented to people with relatively accurate and vivid images, which has been leading the development of western oil painting for more than 400 years. In the19th century, realistic oil painting reached its peak in both creation techniques and expression techniques. During this period, realistic oil painting has been playing the mission of restoring the true colors of objective images. /kloc-In the first half of the 9th century, under the impetus of the wave of industrial revolution, inspired and influenced by realistic oil painting, a brand-new technology for restoring objective images was invented, which is photography technology.

When photography technology came into being, realistic oil painting has accumulated hundreds of years of experience and formed a complete theoretical system, which has become a unique condition for the rapid application of photography technology. Photography is influenced by realistic oil painting. From the beginning, it directly borrowed from the ready-made empirical theories such as composition and color from oil painting art, and soon became an independent visual art that developed in parallel with oil painting art.

At the same time, under the impact and influence of the emerging photography art, the oil painting art has also undergone great changes. For hundreds of years, the pattern of classical realistic oil painting "unifying the world" has been broken, and new oil painting represented by impressionism and three-dimensional abstraction has begun to develop strongly, and realistic oil painting has entered a period of decline.

In the 1960s, under the advocacy of the United States, some oil painting artists borrowed modern scientific and technological means such as photography and high magnification technology when exploring new styles and new ways of realistic oil painting, which promoted the "realism" in realistic oil painting to a new height, made the modeling accuracy and vividness of oil painting completely comparable to that of photography, and even made the depiction of local details of oil painting exquisite and meticulous, even surpassing photographic works, thus enriching and satisfying people's visual and sensory needs. People call this kind of oil painting surrealist oil painting, also known as photographic oil painting.

Ultra-realistic oil painting conforms to people's demand for the diversity of oil painting art, converges people's traditional aesthetic habits, and quickly develops into a worldwide oil painting performance style.

It can be said that photography borrowed from realistic oil painting from the beginning, and ultra-realistic oil painting also borrowed from photography. At the same time, modern photography draws lessons from some techniques in impression oil painting and abstract oil painting. There are many similarities between oil painting art and photography art, both of which are visual arts. They have deep roots and are developing in mutual influence, promotion and reference.
