Photography school painting

Pursue the interest of painting and standardize your own photography creation with the principle of painting modeling. There are two kinds of paintings: 1. School of painting: imitating the painting style of the Renaissance, the picture structure is rigorous and the layout is exquisite, which is made by directing, manipulating and darkroom processing. Plot, narration and implication are its artistic characteristics. 2. Art school: looking for poetic images in real life and expressing beautiful images existing in nature. Draw the main meaning and take pictures.

Picturesque photography is an art school that flourished in the field of photography at the beginning of the twentieth century. It originated in England in the mid-19th century.

Photographers of this school pursue the effect of painting or the realm of "poetic" in their creation. It has gone through three stages: 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 photographic disc for painting was the 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 a book about the picturesque effect of photography. He proposed: "A photographer must have rich emotions and in-depth artistic understanding in order to become 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, Og Relander (18 13- 1875) created a Renaissance-style work composed of more than 30 negatives: two lifestyles, which marked the maturity of painting and 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 use models and props to organize and arrange the scene, 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 painting creation is mostly divorced from real life, photographic equipment is improving day by day, and people's interest in early beauty is impacted by "naturalism". Nevertheless, it still has a place in today's photography art palace. Draw lessons from impressionist painting style. The artistic pursuit of light and shade and the feeling of color in people's visual impression. The images in the works do not have clear lines and outline boundaries, nor do they emphasize three-dimensional sense and texture. 1889, the first French impressionist painting exhibition was held in England. Under the influence of the painter Robinson, he put forward the aesthetic standard that "soft tone photography is more beautiful than sharp tone photography" and advocated "soft tone" photography. This school is the reflection of painting impressionism in the field of photography.

At first, they shot with a soft-focus lens, developed and printed with woven paper, and pursued a vague artistic expression effect. With the appearance of "silver bromide development method" and paper development method with dichromate glue in pigment, impressionist works developed from the control of lens imaging to darkroom processing. They put forward that "works should look nothing like photos" and "if there is no painting, there is no real photography."

Under the guidance of this theory, impressionist photographers also use brushes, pencils and erasers to process pictures, deliberately changing their original light and shade changes and pursuing the effect of "painting". For example, La Croia's Park Sweeper, written in 1900, is like a charcoal pen drawn on a canvas. Impressionist photographers have completely lost their photographic characteristics, so some people call them "imitators". It can be said to be a branch of painting photography. Kanpai photography is the main photography school that opposed painting photography after the First World War.

This school of photographers advocates respecting the characteristics of photography, emphasizing truth and nature, advocating that the subject should not be manipulated or interfered when shooting, and that the instantaneous modality of the subject should be grasped in the natural state. Henri cartier bresson, a famous French photographer, said, "For me, photography is to record the meaning of an event and accurately express its precise organizational form in an instant." Therefore, the artistic characteristics of this school are objective, true, natural, cordial, casual, unpretentious, vivid and full of life.

As far as their aesthetic thoughts and creative tendencies are concerned, the situation of "Kan" photographers is more complicated. Although they advocate the expression of human nature, most of them are engaged in news photography, but there are also naturalists and realists.

The work that gave birth to this genre was 1893 photographer Alfred Stig's Winter on Fifth Avenue, which was really completed by German photographer Dr. ehrlich salomon. He shot the Rome political conference with a small camera at the end of a night meeting held by the German and French prime ministers, which became a classic in the history of this genre of photography because of its vividness, truthfulness, simplicity and naturalness.

In photography aesthetics, they believe that "a photo based on the basic characteristics of photography cannot be imitated by painters or etchers." It has its own inseparable self, has its own special expressive force, and even has characteristics that other media can't show. " Secondly, for the performance of objective things, they attach importance to and emphasize originality, and think: "(Photographers should look at the world with their own eyes, not with others' eyes, and this is the standard to distinguish whether a photo is mediocre or brilliant, valuable or worthless. "The famous photographer of this school is Thomas Dau Weil Maawi of the United States; Park Jung Su Modal in Britain; Victor Hoffman of France; There are Louis Dahl Wolff, Peter Starkpier Bruvic and so on.
