Classical oil painting; Modern oil painting; Development and progress
First, the development from classical oil painting to modern oil painting.
Oil painting has developed into a part of the world art treasure house through the unique western art, and has experienced a long process of absorption, reference and growth. The rapid development of classical oil painting was in the17th century. At that time, the types of oil paintings were divided into historical paintings, religious story paintings, group portraits, personal portraits, landscape paintings, still life paintings, genre paintings and so on. It can be said that the theme has been large-scale. In terms of techniques, painters of various schools have also formed their own subtle differences. In the general direction, painters in this era pay more attention to the overall color, not so much attention to the exquisiteness of brush strokes. At that time, oil paintings emphasized the light sense of oil paintings. The so-called light sense is to create the artistic conception of different pictures by using color contrast. For example, cold and warm colors are widely used in oil paintings, and orange and blue-gray are often used in landscape paintings. Although these two colors don't seem to be unified, they can coexist harmoniously in his paintings, which gives people a great visual impact. In addition, the application of thickness also plays a great role in creating light perception. For the thickness of paintings, most painters before and after the Renaissance used it just right. For example, in Mona Lisa's painting techniques, a three-dimensional effect is created with a heavy feeling. 18th century oil painting style pays more attention to vitality on the basis of predecessors, and painters pay more attention to the priorities of strokes when using pens, so18th century figure oil painting is more profound and lacks roundness than the previous stage; 19th century, it should be said that it plays a connecting role in the development of oil painting in this century. The color of oil painting began to change greatly, and many painters began to pay attention to local coloring. The color block is very bright. Compared with the brown color of orange-blue blocks in17th century, the color blocks in19th century are mostly red and grayish white, so as to highlight the hierarchy of color blocks. The painter's description of the environment in this period appeared in the painting, which made the painting more harmonious and the naturalistic style grew day by day. The description of natural scenery in this period was much more than that in previous periods. In the 20th century, a special and unrestrained school of European oil painting appeared, and they began to create in an eclectic way, which played a great role in changing the face of the painting world.
Second, the characteristics of classical oil painting
The technical characteristics of classical oil painting are relatively simple, which can be roughly divided into two methods: Denbella painting and evolution direct painting. Dan Pera's painting is the most classic oil painting, and the medium of blending is egg white and Madan gum. It is not a direct color matching, but a sketch effect is made with white on a colored background, and then repeated color cover dyeing is carried out. Later, there was also the technology of direct color matching.
The characteristics of classical oil painting can be mainly described in four aspects:
1. Realism in painting: Realism in classical painting mainly refers to the fact that the objects in the works are completely similar to the real objects, only relying on light and images for some modification. For landscape painting, mostly field painting, showing a strong realistic style.
2. In the color expression of painting, the color description is mainly based on large color blocks and strong national style, and it begins to focus on the whole and turns to the part.
3. In the brushwork of painting, we pay more attention to the integrity of the picture, so we treat the local brushwork very carefully, so that the color blocks can be concentrated and the colors are very integrated. The depicted objects and images are unified in the composition of the central focus, forming an isomorphic effect with the real vision.
4. Conceptually, classical oil painting studies pure art, focusing on realism, and likes to imitate the real existence. Impressionism also began to appear after the19th century, and most of them used physical sketches to paint oil paintings.
Third, learn from and improve from classical oil painting to modern oil painting.
The development of modern oil painting is based on the continuous innovation of realistic painting concept, and its visual style is obviously different from classical painting. The sketch is very different. If classical oil painting is constantly based on superb imitation, then modern oil painting is constantly painting with the painter's thoughts, and the painter constantly integrates his feelings and views on the world into the oil painting, so that the oil painting itself is not a representation of scenery or characters, but a reflection of reality and thoughts.
As far as the painting style of contemporary oil painting is concerned, modern painters are reproducing society with their own thinking, rather than copying on the basis of things. The feeling presented by this style is not in line with reality, but it can be used to reflect reality and become concrete art.
They got a lot of inspiration from the works of post-modern artists such as Mike Kelly and Jeff Kuhns. Contemporary painters usually input ready-made images and objects or dream scenes into their brains, and then run in their feelings and thoughts to produce their own understanding of objects that are different from reality but related. Of course, these external things are all analyzed and processed in the brain. Contemporary oil painting has its unique performance characteristics. Painting is not only a real object, but also a description of the object by the subjective thinking of toilet users after selection and judgment. This is an artistic representation and a representation with subjective thinking. As a result, there are fewer and fewer realistic oil paintings, and the realistic style of the contemporary oil painting market is no longer the mainstream of development, but requires the author to express himself, and the free style is getting stronger and stronger. This kind of oil painting can make future generations realize the author's intention, personality and style of the times, and better understand the clues and information outside the oil painting itself. ;
