Oil painting Art blog by Lucas Art

China oil painting art from scratch to today’s prosperity, it can not be denied to the West This is mainly the results of the study. The 20th century, the initial and 21 century, is decisively different from the era of two hundred years ago from the revitalization of national prosperity and cultural point of view, we are grateful to our ancestors as the knowledge that they found in the country closed and powerful China is not only the decline and cultural stagnation, thus boldly go out of the country to the West to study the introduction of Western civilization, the Chinese have followed the rise of his oil paintings. Since then, the development of Chinese painting experienced three wave study: the first time, that is, to study the early 20th century in Western Europe and Japan; the second time in the century to learn the Soviet Union; the third time, it is the western end of the last century Hot Modern Art. The three learn of the development of Chinese Oil Painting is very necessary, do not have to learn there is no oil painting in China today, it determines the basic outlook of Chinese oil paintings with the pattern. Chinese Oil Painting in the 20th century, apart from war and revolutionary movement, is basically in how to better grasp the expertise of Western oil complex to learn, and learn the West has become one of the last century, the basic characteristics. Of course, this learning process is the creation of oil paintings to explore the process of localization, Chinese oil paintings in various historical periods, whether it is the beginning of the century or the century of the older generation of the younger generation, in the nationalization of oil in China have made this issue its own contribution.

Chinese oil paintings can also be said from the start at home in the East and West, two very different cultures, has always been to strike a balance between East and West, the confrontation between the two blend in with the thinking and work. A century’s achievements we have seen, many articles have been affirmed and praised the whole nation already has a good character and artistic level. Despite these achievements there is an estimated low-high, but compared to our oil painting to China in the world of art to be the expectations of success, compared with the desire of Chinese oil paintings, we should create a distinct national style, there are considerable gap. Works from the current whole, should be said that there had not from the basic pattern of Western art, or in the West of the impact of standards and norms of development; with Chinese characteristics and create an independent there is no dominant position, we more or less oil at home fewer still could not shake off the shadow of the West a strong culture.

If we say that in the last century for the needs of their own cultural development, we take the initiative to learn the whereabouts of the West, then, after a century of study with an open mind, study and study again after today, the pattern of the world situation and China’s a time of great change in Western culture and the digestion is threatening the development of our culture and our culture have a corresponding negative impact, we can take advantage of the opportunity to convert two centuries, is still not out of self – cultural development needs of the construction for the needs of China’s advanced culture, to focus our efforts on the Western culture from the spirit of conversion to open up learning to create their own culture and up. Of course, the creation and learning are inseparable. However, after all, we focus our energies and wisdom on all the major learning from the West. At present, in the new situation, we should not take this the focus shifted to how to the local community to learn how to create a new art of their own nation up. The reason why the focus now should be the beginning of the shift is due to changes in the situation, the last century is because we do not have oil paintings, oil paintings do not have the skills and rules of art, it is necessary to learn from the West. Today we have the basic understanding and knowledge of Western art from the classic oil paintings to all the demands of post-modernism and features, with the focus of the conversion conditions. That is not to say no to the future of Western learning, learning at any time are necessary. However, if we do not have this today from the West to the local focus of the conversion, there is no carry forward from the learning and culture of this nation to stand for “development” of “creation”, it will affect our own creative spirit of the play is not conducive to the formation of an independent Chinese oil paintings distinctive character, and will continue to follow the Western culture could not escape the cycle of, on in the world still can not establish the status of Chinese painting.

To any country in the world’s cultural and ethnic patterns achieved the status of one seat, not based on a local level will not succeed, for us to do a long-standing cultural traditions, especially the big powers. As the creators of contemporary Chinese culture did not in-depth understanding of their culture, their own blood vessels only in the running of the nation’s blood is not enough. The more traditional the more profound need for us to understand and study in depth, otherwise, will find and learn how to do proper nutrition. I know, including myself, the contemporary Chinese oil painting at home of traditional national culture research is clearly not the majority of people, because we thought oil family on behalf of the West feel that the direction of modern culture, learning their culture and traditions of Western science as important. The concept of a long period of time in our national culture has been to China as a backward culture of the ancient symbols, nothing to do with modern culture, “modern” concept has been attributed to the West, the West all have become “modern”, “advanced “representative. There is no denying this is the modern history of Western science and technology and material in such areas as the result of the formation of development, which is the developing countries to learn from them the reasons. However, after all, in all civilized countries is different from the formation of long-term basis for the different composition of the values enshrined in its concept and culture vary. Therefore, all inter-country exchange of civilization and learning is of great significance, the advanced countries of the modern road and learn from the experience is valuable, but not the model to be copied. Especially in the form of the evolution of modern culture, even more difficult to say that the best way to be followed. Their art experiments, consistent with their culture and values, not necessarily for other countries. Countries with their own cultural and social development have the possibility of transformation to a modern, modern art form and the concept should also be a variety of different characteristics, each country there are their own path of modern art.

If today we have minds of their own as a result of a long period of backwardness and inferiority of the formation of more or less, or a blind worship of the colonial mentality of the West is not questioned, if the modern Western culture we do not really representative of the modern advanced culture questioned the development of Western art is not the road is a universal challenge, not to the Western modern art to challenge the standards and norms, at the same time, we do not have the culture of our great confidence in the vitality of the update, and do not we have a deep traditional culture can be transformed into the great resources of modern culture, have confidence, then we in the 21st century the development of Chinese culture will be no contribution.

Therefore, our oil paintings to reflect on their own home must be the status quo, we must seriously consider whether the Chinese oil paintings should be how to develop, how the traditional culture and modern Western culture to find the collision and to explore its inner vitality, making it the lessons of foreign culture to achieve a positive factor in the development of new, this is every one of us should be active creators face. In addition, it is necessary to create a truly national characteristics, national style of Chinese painting, oil painting art must also have sufficient spirit of the times, oil painting at home must also go to the times we live life, rooted in real life soil, the effective survival of the state of the feelings of the broad masses of people, concerned about the real-life problems, understand the people’s thinking, feelings, experience their happiness, anger, sadness and joy, from which to get the spirit of practical experience, to gain characteristics of the times the creation of the perception. Only in this way can we resolve the current art of oil painting, “the spirit of” weakening the problem. The creators of the road is difficult, but as the creators of modern Chinese culture is a glorious cause. We should be able to embody for the creation of the development direction of advanced culture, with distinctive ethnic characteristics, full of the spirit of the times and in good faith to create the personality of art and the efforts of Chinese oil paintings. I think as long as the Chinese oil painting at home with this initiative and in grasping the essence of foreign culture and develop good qualities in Chinese culture can be combined to create a sufficient self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-reliance spirit, through the efforts of several generations, I believe that we have had this for the people of the world are proud of the brilliant civilization of the nation today can certainly create a new brilliance. ,
