How can we reflect the "minimalist style" of oil painting?

When it comes to the "minimalist style" in oil paintings, people will think of the naked woman lying on the side by the romantic master Modigliani, the dancer by Matisse, the founder of Fauvism, and the dream by Picasso, the originator of abstraction. People imagine that the complex human figure is only sketched by a few simple lines, and the vivid color description constitutes a vivid and rich picture.

Sergei Mashnikov, a famous Russian contemporary surrealist painter, is a minimalist painter. There is no gorgeous background, no designed props, as long as it is conducive to the aesthetic feeling of the picture and the expression of the theme, there is no need to let it appear in the painting. This is Mashnikov's artistic creation idea.

Mashnikov's oil paintings are good at representing young women, and neatness, elegance and freedom are the characteristics of most young women. It is precisely by grasping this feature that the painter is committed to pursuing the minimalist style of his painting, that is, the figure is always the center of painting, and all techniques and expressions are for the best performance of the figure.

The characters in Mashnikov's Brush are dignified and delicate, charming and gentle, elegant, quiet and elegant, lively and lovely, showing the charm and vitality of young women.

Simple is not simple. Simplicity is simplification. Simplicity is the practice of art to life. Simplicity is the embodiment of the artist's aesthetic vision and ability to control his works.

Hello, dear, I'm glad to answer your question.

Minimalist style in oil painting

In my humble opinion, in the history of western art, the painters who showed the minimalist style of oil painting to the extreme are Matisse, senior gray painters Mo Landi, Klee, Kandinsky and mondriaan, a cold abstract painter.

What kind of painting expression language are these painters' oil paintings, showing the minimalist style of oil paintings?

None of the painters mentioned above are painters with traditional realistic classical oil painting style.

In my humble opinion, it is very difficult to create realistic traditional classical oil paintings. Not only should the framework of picture composition, the tone of picture, the atmosphere and rhythm of black, white and gray layout be considered comprehensively, but the painter should also spend a lot of time and energy to portray a classical oil painting figure, and strive to achieve accurate modeling, rigorous structure and in-depth description.

Therefore, it is not easy for realistic classical oil paintings to express minimalist style.

Oil paintings that break through the traditional objective and realistic oil painting style, such as Fauvism, Vienna Separatism and Abstraction, are relatively easy to express the minimalist style of oil paintings.

For the minimalist style of oil painting, my personal understanding is a generalization, seeking simple and generous painting expression language, deleting complexity and simplifying, refining essence, and pursuing simple and clear painting effect.

For example, mondriaan's paintings "Jazz on Broadway" and "Red, White and Blue Diamond Painting" use the simplest and purest geometric figures to express simplified symbols and express a concise and lively style.

Mondriaan used three primary colors and simple and pure composition to create a balanced and harmonious minimalist painting effect.

As for the minimalist oil painting style, my personal understanding is that in order to pursue the perfection of an artistic style, we should cut the complexity and simplify it, and discard unnecessary painting factors.

For example, Matisse, a fauvism painter, pursues two-dimensional plane, original and simple colors, bright colors and simplified modeling style, so he abandons three-dimensional complex modeling.

Cubist painter Picasso abandoned the traditional realistic oil painting style in order to maximize the painting language of solid geometry.

The minimalist style in oil painting is a painting language in which the painter cuts off and simplifies complex things, develops a painting style to the extreme, and pursues a simple, simple, generous and lively style.

If you want to embody minimalist style, you must first understand what minimalist style is. The simple definition is "pursuing simplicity to the extreme". Originally used for home decoration, it was later extended to photography and painting. How does oil painting embody minimalist style?

Simply put, it is to abandon all unnecessary and redundant decorative elements and only keep the subject to be expressed. For example, figure painting only keeps the characters and one or several necessary elements, and strives to make the picture more concentrated. The same is true of landscape oil painting.

Therefore, it is not easy for realistic classical oil paintings to express minimalist style.

To tell the truth, after studying painting for so many years, I have only heard that the style of Chinese painting that emphasizes the expressive force of lines is very simple, but I have never heard that oil painting art also has a "minimalist style".

The composition, modeling and overall picture effect of the oil paintings with religious themes popular in the Middle Ages are quite complicated, although the colors are relatively simple and not rich, which is far from the simple style.

During the Renaissance, the classical realistic oil painting style, represented by Leonardo da Vinci, pushed the realistic techniques of oil painting to the peak, and the accurate description of details reached the extreme. Just like the well-known Mona Lisa, a smiling expression charmed later artists, and Leonardo da Vinci's painting level can be seen.

However, whether it is Da Vinci, Raphael, Angel and other realistic oil painting masters, although their works are regarded as the standard by countless painting lovers, they have nothing to do with minimalist painting style. One of the biggest characteristics of realistic oil painting is that the object is painted in all aspects, nuanced, concise and clear, which naturally exceeds the scope of the painter's creative thinking.

If I have to find an artist related to simple painting style, I can only think of Picasso. Although most of Picasso's cubist oil paintings are difficult to be associated with "minimalist style", compared with other artists' works, Picasso seems to be influenced by Chinese painting, and his shapes and colors are more concise.

Don't think that only ordinary people in China can't understand Picasso's paintings. In fact, most people in the west may not like Picasso's works. In his time, no one could understand his paintings. Picasso created the oil painting "Maiden of avignon" around 1907, which became a milestone in the history of art. But when Picasso finished this work, it was difficult for the general public to accept it except for a few old friends who liked it. It took more than ten years before people realized the value of this work and became famous in one fell swoop.

Visible, people appreciate oil painting, or used to modeling and color realism. Relatively concise and personalized oil paintings, such as Van Gogh and Picasso, are hard to get wide recognition.

Jing Longxuan was particularly impressed by Picasso's Maiden of avignon, because the creation of this work is obviously integrated with African sculpture and has a strong artistic appeal. It can be said that The Girl of avignon is a coordinate of Picasso's cubist experiment, and then Picasso entered a rigorous cubist period. The significance of this work to Picasso's artistic creation career can be imagined.

Contemporary artists in China include Qi Baishi and Huang. Qi Baishi's flower-and-bird and yellow landscape paintings created the last artistic peak of Chinese painting. Qi Baishi's Chinese paintings, in particular, are a model of "minimalist style", with a few strokes and far-reaching artistic conception, and are written by masters. From the cultural background and aesthetic realm, oil painting seems to be difficult to compare with traditional Chinese painting which has been passed down for thousands of years.

Of course, this is just a surprise for Long Xuan's family. Welcome to discuss with you. thank you

The formation of any artistic style is closely related to the artist's personality, temperament, courage, artistic accomplishment, aesthetic taste, artistic conception and even personality. The question is: how can we reflect the "minimalist style" of oil painting works?

Literally, "minimalist style" seems to mean that the picture is very concise and clean. In fact, it is. Minimalist style oil painting, with single tone and bright color contrast; In composition, the pursuit of stability, order, rigor, geometric beauty; In terms of content, the theme is very prominent and slightly abstract, leaving a lot of room for interpretation and imagination for the viewer.

Through the simple description of the characteristics of minimalist oil painting in the previous paragraph, we can more easily embody the "minimalist style" of oil painting works. To reflect the minimalist style of oil paintings, first of all, when composing a composition, we should use a lot of blank space and highlight the main body of the characters with a simple background. For example, when painting portraits, the background of the painting is a color.

You can also highlight the main body of the character with a fuzzy background, but it should be combined with the creative intention. If you only want to highlight people, the environment can be completely ignored. For example, the background of impressionist paintings is blurred to varying degrees, but the brushwork can be more delicate, creating surreal oil paintings with blurred background and clear subject; Secondly, create contrast through color. After all, oil painting is based on color.

Through color contrast, for example, you can use large-area tiled colors to establish simplicity, but you should be familiar with the various characteristics of colors, because large-area tiled colors are creating abstract paintings, using colors to create geometric beauty. There is no contrast between light and shadow and spatial perspective, leaving only abstract paintings with geometric structures, no description, no depth, no belief, and very minimalist.

In contemporary oil painting art, artists use their own visual experience and aesthetic feeling to express the development prospect in oil painting creation with minimalist style. The aesthetic of this minimalist oil painting art should belong to the return of nationality, which makes the development of China oil painting different from that of western oil painting, seeking a concise and general expression, and having the unique minimalist oil painting art style of China.

1. Minimalist oil painting style is a form of expression between the simplicity of the common characteristics of oil painting and western minimalism. It is based on the needs of the picture, trying to abuse, impurity, essence and essence. In oil painting, minimalist style comes from the rich visual experience in traditional oil painting, and the picture pays attention to simple and clear visual effects.

Second, in the process of oil painting creation, the artist's artistic techniques and styles are mainly minimalism, which is expressed by simple lines, whole face and monotonous colors. It is not a simple relationship between decomposition and reorganization, but the painter's heartfelt thoughts and emotions express his own personality style, and the aesthetic effect of the artistic style of the whole picture is achieved through minimalist painting techniques.

Thirdly, the "simplicity" in minimalist oil painting style does not mean the relative simplicity with "complexity". It comes from complexity and is higher than complexity, and it is an aesthetic ideal to express the painter's thoughts and the spirit of the times. Nowadays, the artistic aesthetics of minimalist painting art is needed, which not only meets the emotional and spiritual needs of the public, but also highlights the artistic and social values of oil painting.

Save more pictures, and the rest are minimalist.
