Painting and photography stage

Painting photography has roughly gone through three stages: painting imitation stage; An elegant stage; Art stage. The painter put forward "Raphael of photography, Titian of photography."

Painting photography has experienced a long period of development. The first painting photographer was British painter Shiloh (1802- 1870). He is good at portrait photography, and his works are rigorous in structure and elegant in shape. 185 1 to 1853 is the growth period of painting photography. 1869, British photographer HP Robinson (1830-1901) published the book "The Image Effect of Photography", and he proposed: "A photographer must have rich emotions and deep artistic understanding if he wants to be an excellent photographer. Undoubtedly, the continuous progress and invention of photography technology inspire higher goals, which is enough to make photographers play more freely; But the progress of technology does not mean the progress of art. Because photography itself, no matter how exquisite and complete, is just a belt leading to a higher goal. " It laid a theoretical foundation for this school.

1857, O.G. Relander (18 13- 1875) created a Renaissance-style work composed of more than 30 negatives, which marked the maturity of painting photography.

Most of the works in this period are full of religious colors and contain certain metaphors. When shooting, make a sketch in advance, then organize and arrange the scene with models and props, and deal with it through the darkroom. Pursue the painting effect of the photo screen.

Subsequently, the content of painting photography has been expanded, but the style still advocates classicism, and the modeling and composition still have academic rules, so it appears frugal, heavy and elegant.

When the genre develops to the painting stage, it is still characterized by the pursuit of emotional beauty, artistic conception beauty and formal beauty. Because the painter emphasizes artistic accomplishment: "In order to make photography have a place in art, photographers must first cultivate their aesthetic ability and artistic accomplishment." Therefore, its historical achievement is to guide photography from the initial mechanical imitation object to the field of plastic arts, which promotes the development of photography art.

Because the creation of paintings is mostly divorced from real life, photographic equipment is improving day by day, and people's aesthetic taste is also developing constantly, which is impacted by "naturalism". Nevertheless, it still occupies a place in today's photography art hall.
