Different concepts of Eastern and Western landscape photography

(1) East

In China, the relationship between man and nature is harmonious and unified. In terms of the relationship between man and nature, the Chinese tend to believe that man is an inseparable part of nature, and man and nature become one. Reflected in the aesthetic consciousness, the aesthetic subject invests in the aesthetic object, and the object merges with the subject, reaching the state of "unity of nature and man" in which both things and myself are forgotten. Therefore, the main expression object of ancient Chinese art is landscape.

Chinese plastic arts are more about philosophy. The two ideas of worldliness and transcendence from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism affect the artist's life and artistic process, as well as the artist's method of artistic creation - realistic or freehand. Those who respect Confucianism pursue worldliness and emphasize realism; while those who believe in Buddhism and Laoism are detached from the world. When creating art, they do not seek resemblance in form but resemblance in spirit, and pursue abstract meaning. The characteristic of "literati painting" is freehand brushwork. Chinese painters broke through the constraints of focused perspective and light and dark modeling methods of fixed light sources, and created scattered perspective and line drawing methods to create images. When painting, I make bold choices and retain the image features that best express my spiritual temperament. There is a large blank space on the screen, forming a wonderful ethereal feeling, giving the viewer room to imagine and recreate. These traditions have a great influence on the creation of Chinese landscape photography. Expression art in ancient China was relatively developed, with poems expressing ambitions and words reflecting emotions, and paintings advocating "the meaning beyond the oak". Poets and painters were inspired by the scenery in the aesthetic observation of nature. "Mountains are full of emotions when climbing, and meaning is overflowing when looking at the sea." In the sea". In artistic creation, we pursue the realm of scene blending. Wang Changling in the Tang Dynasty proposed the concept of artistic conception, while Wang Guowei in modern times vigorously promoted artistic conception and became the master of artistic conception theory. He believed that artistic conception is the combination of emotion and scene, intention and The blending and unity of images. Artistic conception has become the core category of Chinese traditional aesthetics. It is the embodiment of the artist's noble personality and the highest level of aesthetics in lyrical works of art.

The pursuit of "unity of nature and man" and abstract connotation, emphasizing artistic conception is the core category of traditional Chinese aesthetics. Therefore, traditional Eastern cultural ideas such as the unity of nature and man, moderation, spiritual similarity, and artistic conception outside of form are still the core of our landscape photography. The significance of the aesthetic tone is self-evident. It is a kind of liberation of the soul from real life (Li Yuanyu). Liu Bannong believes that the artistic conception in the work cannot be limited by photography technology. , skills are much more important.

Obviously, the mutual exchange, influence, penetration and communication between landscape photography and Chinese painting not only create more art forms and styles, but also show colorful art. At the same time, the absorption, complementation and integration of each other are of great significance to strengthening the expressive power of art, enriching the diversity of form structure, expanding the field of expression and picture capacity, improving the artistic depth of works, and broadening people's aesthetic perception and accumulation. Important cultural significance and aesthetic value.

(2) The West

Learning from Western photography concepts (or certain concepts in Western culture) is the reason for manipulating photography as a "brought product". Indispensable.

Western art emphasizes human expression of themes, emphasizing reproduction and truth-seeking, and absorbs scientific achievements to create artistic images that resemble reality. The most classic of its classical art theories is the "imitation theory." It is the imitation and imitation of objective things. The theory of imitation later developed into the theory of typicality. Balzac believed that "the typical is the sample of the class". Belinsky put forward the proposition of "familiar strangers" when discussing typification. . Engels’s important discussion on the relationship between typical images and typical environments contributed to the theory of typicality.

Western photographers use single-point perspective to create three-dimensional images, and pay attention to texture, shape, and color. , these are not only the content of the current practice of landscape photography in our country, but also the content that needs to be clarified in the theoretical category.

At the same time, the critical spirit, contradictory concepts of human society and natural society, and strong ideas should be accommodated in landscape photography. The expression of personal experience and the sacred thoughts of human nature, etc., these ideological categories of Western philosophy can enhance or change the rational structure of landscape photography, break through the composition mode of traditional painting, and transform the "good-looking" of landscape photography into "interesting".
