On the Significance and Difference between Realistic Painting and Photography

First, the mission of realistic painting

(A) on the definition and characteristics of surrealist realistic painting

After Dadaism, a school of painting-surrealism, which has a great influence in the history of modern art, came into being in France. As a derivative of Dadaism, it had a far-reaching influence on visual art, from 1920 to 1930, which was popular in European literary and art circles. The western surrealism movement was influenced by Freud's theory. Freud made a scientific and serious analysis and answer to people's dreams in Interpretation of Dreams, which made people realize that dreams are closely related to people's subconscious. The creative expression of art is the expression that people's subconscious transcends realistic logic. In the 1920s, the school of surrealism appeared in Dadaism, mainly in drama and literature. The theoretical standard-bearer of surrealism-poet Andre Brayton-the initiator of surrealism movement and the authority of surrealism concept interpretation. His definition of "surrealism" is: "Surrealism, a noun. Pure mental automaticity tries to use this automaticity to express the real thinking process in oral, written or any other way. It is a transcript of thought, not controlled by any reason, and does not rely on any aesthetic or moral prejudice. " This definition has played a guiding role in the western surrealism movement.

The influence of surrealism on the art world, surrealists focus on solving the problem of "what to draw", which is essentially different from the painting language or expression form of animalism and cubism, that is, "how to draw", but it is quite naturalistic on the basis of "how to draw". Therefore, in the paintings of famous surrealist painters such as Dali, andrew wyeth and Miro, what we see is a rather real "absurd" art, which is the representation of the spiritual world of surrealist painters.

(B) the artistic value of realistic painting

The so-called realistic painting actually means that realistic painting belongs to figurative art in artistic form and is a form of expression in painting. Art painters reproduce and reproduce the external scenery through their own understanding and feelings and careful observation and description of external things. This artistic painting works are more in line with the visual feelings of the audience and the natural and true characteristics of the scene, providing the audience with a pleasant aesthetic mood.

Realistic painting first appeared in the west and developed in the west. For example, western classical painting, mainly realistic painting. Realistic painting developed and expanded as early as the Renaissance in Europe. It has experienced hundreds of years of history and profound traditional culture, and has produced many masters and masters of artistic painting, as well as some immortal famous paintings. Realistic painting is basically the so-called art comes from life and nature. On the basis of reappearing life and nature, artistic painters have formed scientific and reasonable aesthetic standards and modeling principles from the realization of expression, so measuring the value of artistic painting, in other words, the value of artistic works mainly depends on whether artistic painting can reproduce life and nature and the degree of reappearance. However, after 1839 photography technology was invented by human beings, that is, when the so-called "photography" and "camera" appeared, we had to ask the necessity of realistic oil painting: Isn't it better to draw a realistic oil painting with a "camera" for a few seconds? So people were a little confused at that time, but realistic painters didn't waver at all, and still insisted that the emergence of a new thing would definitely impact the old things. This is the contradiction. The "camera" has impacted the traditional realistic painting art. When photography technology can objectively represent and record objects, it will even be more objective and true than artistic painting, but painting has added the artist's personal feelings about paintings and objects, which can never be achieved by photography technology and camera alone. Because of this, many artists pay more attention to emotional input, but expand the artistic connotation of realistic painting, which makes realistic painting get more innovative development.

Salvador dali, one of the greatest artists in history, is a long-lived and prolific painting artist. He is unconstrained and unconstrained, with unique imagination and shocking expression. Dali combined his subconscious with painting and formed his own painting style. Before the age of 2 1, he formed a unique style in the world, that is, a famous artist of surrealism. This clock with eternal memory is Dali's most famous surrealist masterpiece. Dali's works are amazing: this may be the true portrayal and charm of surrealist realistic painting.

Second, the language comparison between realistic painting and video art.

(A) The birth of image technology triggered a major revolution in visual arts.

The French Academy of Sciences announced to the world on August 9th 1839 that it had invented photography technology, which is the world-famous photography in Daguerre.

Louis Daguerre, the inventor of photography, is an artist of the Paris Opera House. He is keen on creating a stage with painting as the background. In order to make his works more realistic, he often uses something called a "black box" to observe and record natural images. The principle of "black box" is "pinhole imaging" Daguerre thought, can you record the image in the black box? Can you reproduce natural images with a brush? So, Daguerre and Nipps, another French chemist who invented asphalt photosensitive plate technology at that time, started a four-year cooperation. Just as photography technology was maturing, Nieps died suddenly at 1833. Finally, in August 1839, photography technology was invented.

From this story, we can clearly understand that most of the first generation photographers changed from artists and painters to photographers, which gives us a revelation that photography and painting are inseparable. Applying the composition principle in painting to photography will be an excellent photographic work. Secondly, early cameras were only sold in stationery stores. Although there are specialized shops selling photographic equipment now, photographic equipment still belongs to the cultural industry. Therefore, whether in the production and sale of photographic equipment or in the use of photographic equipment, people should also emphasize the taste of culture. The advertisement of camera is often to highlight the artistic conception of culture and to perceive painting. At this time, photography technology gradually formed, and camera shops can be seen everywhere. In fact, photography and painting are both made public in the form of visual images, which reproduce natural images on the plane and reflect the static state of the images.

Photography, whether it is technology or art, is a fresh and young thing. Since its invention, it has been influenced by something with a long history, that is, the art of painting. The early famous painter Wu Guanzhong once said: "Art and photography are not only neighbors of a hospital, but now they have formed new in-laws. Surrealism painting absorbs a lot of photographic skills. You absorb me, I absorb you. " At that time, impressionist painting and photography appeared almost at the same time, at the same time. It can be seen that from a certain point of view, painting art and photography art developed on the same road, so this is a new visual impact to re-establish images, and the birth of photography technology has triggered a major revolution in visual art.

(B) Surrealism painting and photography art of complementarity

The pace of photography art has never stopped, and realistic painting art has also seen its advanced side in photography technology and improved it. Painting itself has not been assimilated by painting or other arts, nor has it lost the essence and characteristics of its unique art form. In the process of development, photography constantly absorbs the characteristics of other art forms that are beneficial to its development and makes itself stronger. These absorption are conducive to enriching and expanding its artistic means and forms of expression.

In the artistic genre, photography and painting correspond. Both of them are made public through the visual sense, and both of them reproduce the mutual penetration, influence and communication between plane, photography and painting in a static form. They are a new art form and create more artistic expression styles. At the same time, they absorb, supplement and draw lessons from each other, which not only enhances the expressive force of art, but also enriches the structure of form, broadens the aesthetic vision of viewers and deepens the artistic connotation of works. This is a form represented by extremely important culture and aesthetic value, so as to achieve "you have me and I have you" in photography and painting.

We are concerned about the influence of painting on photography. Painting and photography are both visual arts and two-dimensional visual expressions. 1. Shape is one of the basic characteristics of objects grasped by human eyes, so things without shape are invisible to the naked eye. While expressing forms, painting generally adopts the principle of simplification. Second, the composition principle of painting has a great influence on photography, that is, the principle of simplifying composition. No one will understand the meaning of this work if there is no hint in the composition principle itself. There are two kinds of composition in painting.

Form: one is the form of creation, and the other is the form of reality. As far as artistic creation is concerned, even if the physical form is excellent, its aesthetic value will be reduced. Because the frame structure of the camera is closer to the composition of western paintings, but the aesthetics of different nationalities are different and the trend of national interest is different, some photographers are original. But in any case, the composition principle of photography is far from beyond its own system, and it can't get rid of the influence of painting art.

conclusion

To sum up, the application of modeling language and photography technology in realistic oil painting, whether it is realistic oil painting under classicism or contemporary new realistic oil painting, is based on painting modeling to express the spiritual connotation and characteristics of photography, which not only expresses the artist's feelings through the artistic language of painting modeling, but also frees the artist's inner world and truly depicts it, and integrates it into the works. The close relationship between modeling language and photography has been fully used in realistic painting, which truly shows the background of realistic painting and the artist's personal accomplishment, so realistic oil painting has reached a higher platform and a brand-new beginning.
