Now painting works pursue realism, is it in the direction of photography?

First of all, painting and photography are two languages. Just like there is a teapot on the table, you can express it by photography or with a brush. Similarly, it can also be expressed in words, such as describing a teapot. You can also use music, just like guqin playing running water. It can also be expressed in words, for example, I tell you: What teapot is on the table? That is, all different art categories are different expression languages. Just as you say I love you in Korean, he says I love you in French. This is one thing.

So you have to come to a basic conclusion that no one can replace anyone and no one will be terminated.

Then we will discuss the subtle relationship between photography and realistic painting.

For example, it is still "a teapot". When the camera is facing the teapot, there are two backgrounds. One is to capture images, just like the rural children in the photo studio want to send a long photo to their parents far away. The owner of the photo studio said, stand up and smile-click.

Just like this.

Another kind of photography is that I pat the teapot on the table, and the afternoon light passes through the gap in its arm and finally stays by the bed. It's beautiful. The photographer was moved by beauty and wanted to keep it. Although these two photos are the same photo and the same object, they represent different contents. One is entirely for capturing and imaging; One is cosmetic injection.

Like this.

The parts behind these two images correspond to two backgrounds of realistic painting. In other words, if it is to "paint like a real thing", this kind of realism is meaningless, and its value of existence is at most a technical flow and formalism. Photography should completely replace it.

Like this.

The other is to inject your love, feelings, aesthetics, thinking and poetry into the process of realism. You see, the difference between two realistic paintings and two kinds of photography is that one is capturing and imaging; One tends to be aesthetic, emotional and artistic. Therefore, photography should be viewed separately, and so should realistic painting.

Like this.

So how can we distinguish the value of the same technology, whether it is aesthetic or artistic realism?

This is obvious when we compare Yang Feiyun with Chen Yifei. Is the difference between being good-looking and being good-looking.

Whether it is poetry, painting, novels or photography, the final comparison is the peripheral cognition, perspective, thoughts, feelings, temperament and so on. When everyone has a gun (pen and ink, words, camera, etc. ), faster than anyone, more accurate than anyone; They are fast and accurate, and smoother than moving people; Fast, accurate and smooth is more handsome than long; They are fast, accurate, smooth and handsome; Then, let's see who is more chivalrous and chivalrous.
