The essence of neoclassical painting lies in the pursuit of internal image and the metaphorical means to achieve internal image from the outside. So, what is the neoclassicism of painting?

First, the representative of neoclassicism.

Neo-classicism takes humanistic aesthetics in the Renaissance as its creative thought, advocates nature and rationality, and chooses solemn painting content. The picture embodies integrity and plasticity, emphasizing the supplement of rationality and sensibility, emphasizing the sketch relationship but ignoring the color relationship.

The representatives of neoclassicism are Angel and Louis. Dewitt

Influenced by dawit, Angel pursued the ideal beauty.

Therefore, he achieved perfection in his works, with concise techniques and gentle visual feelings.

He was influenced by Raphael and classicism because of his accurate reaction to physical objects.

He is good at observation, modeling is based on reality, and he can handle it subjectively. He uses the adjustment of modeling lines in his works to form rhythm and smooth lines, and finally forms the idealized perfection he pursues. The Source of Anger embodies the natural beauty of women in expression, and his thoughts have also turned from sensuality to the divinity of women. It can be said that he is expounding the beauty of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures.

From big scenes to small things that reflect life.

Formally, it removed the strict cage and strode towards subjective neoclassicism.

Pay attention to the rigor of contour, show the posture of women, and seek perceptual adaptability in reason.

Andrew West paid attention to the restoration of the essence of painting and admired Gu Zhuo's elegant beauty. He opposed the lust of painting and realized the humanistic atmosphere between the painter and his works, which is the reappearance and return of humanism.

His disciple David's work "The Oath of Horace Brothers" reproduces the divinity of ancient Roman art works.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, there is no doubt that neoclassicism achieved unprecedented prosperity in France under the advocacy of dawit.

From David Witt to his student Angel, neoclassicism has undergone a major turning point, from rigid depiction to classicism with oriental colors, and Angel's female painting theme has achieved a strategic position.

Second, neoclassical cultural thought

Neoclassicism belongs to the western philosophy system.

In western aesthetics, neoclassicism explains the core of aesthetic thought from different aspects, which is of course inseparable from enlightenment.

The most important feature is harmony.

Hegel's aesthetic interpretation of classical beauty was limited to the ancient Greek and Roman times, and beauty characterized by sublimity began in the Middle Ages. Beauty lies in freedom? Say? Organic whole? It is said to be the cornerstone of western classical aesthetic theory.

Diderot, he analyzed beauty as? Really beautiful? With what? Relatively beautiful? The former is the beauty of physical essence, the subordination and mapping of various organisms, and the harmony of forms.

? Relatively beautiful? It refers to the inextricable connection between objects, including social content, the individual will of characters, the form of everything, aesthetic objects, and the acceptance and transmission of beauty.

Neo-classical aesthetics and the Enlightenment advocated rationality, which was abstract, which was also determined by people's consciousness at that time.

It fully shows that in the relationship between subject and object, rationality is the subject and sensibility is the object.

Advocate moral education from the function of neoclassicism itself.

From the perspective of artistic expression, it advocates genre theory, and the social content reflected is the result of autocratic monarchy at that time in a sense.

Is this harmony allowed by feudalism or under its control? Harmony? .

As a neoclassical painting, it realizes the harmony between subjective and objective sensibility and rationality in aesthetics.

However, under the premise of harmony, there are different relationships between object and subject, rationality and sensibility, which form the stage of the development of classical aesthetics.

Specifically, neoclassical aesthetics is the stage of the unity of object and subject, sensibility and rationality.

Diderot's main artistic ideas are: first, what? Beauty lies in relationships? Production; Second, it gave birth to a new art form, serious comedy; The third is primitivism with romanticism; Fourthly, in performing arts, the contradiction between performance and experience is based on rational performance.

So-called? Rational? An innate norm that conforms to the principle of human nature.

Neo-classical painting is a quiet aesthetic object, emphasizing narration and imagery.

The artistic theoretical support of neoclassical painting originated from ancient Greece and Rome.

French neoclassicism has a great influence, which has been mapped to Europe, including Wilson and Fuselli.

They are all exploring the laws of neoclassicism from different angles.

Third, it is manifested in advocating rationality.

Advocating rational development of painting contradicts the expression of subjective consciousness.

In the heroic content of the big scene, it is transformed into realism close to life performance.

In the effect of the works, modern materials are borrowed, and new traditional connotations are interpreted from different latitudes.

It can be said that the rational expression of neoclassicism has both form and spirit, and finally achieves elegance and good taste. This artistic pursuit is enough to embody the characteristics of an aristocratic era without losing the flavor of life.

Classicism is the inheritance and development of ancient literature.
