The relationship between photography and painting

Haha, the relationship is very complicated.

The first is the enemy relationship. It is photography that drives painting to the wall. Photography makes the masters before and after Impressionism think about what the way of painting should be. If you have read the Impressionist Biography, you will know that Degas' attitude towards their good friend and mentor, pissarro, is almost a sense of disaster when chatting about this issue. Interestingly, before that, Angel was indifferent. Now some historians find that there are some early photography shadows in his paintings (for example, Angel's paintings emphasize plane space, which is obviously contrary to the pursuit of large space in18th century. Of course, my point of view is the times, not just photography), and Angel has been saying to Degas, "Young man, learn to use lines!"

Secondly, it is the relationship between lovers. Once painting has its own direction, looking back, it is necessary to use photography. Didn't you see that nowadays students go to the countryside without sketchbooks or oil painting racks, but with digital cameras? The discussion is not how to kill the painting, but what brand of reproduction color is good! Ha ha.

Finally, obey or part ways. With the development of science, painting finally understands that to be realistic, the painter is better than ever-changing technology. Either we concentrate, we learn from and copy photos, or we hold high the banner of justice and say that painting is aimed at the soul, and we will walk away (Chen Danqing also said in the book that postmodernism means "walking away", so I won't play with you, I will take you, hehe).

That's about it.
