What's the difference between western art and China art?

1. background contrast: western contemporary art is divorced from modern art, and wars are frequent in the 20th century, and mankind is devastated by unprecedented large-scale wars, which gives birth to humanistic philosophy to explore the meaning of existence. Coupled with the large-scale expansion of industrial civilization, people's living conditions have been completely changed, and various schools of post-modern art and post-modern art in World War II have been born. Contemporary western art basically belongs to the category of post-modern art, and the contemporary art mentioned here is aimed at relatively advanced artistic thoughts, not at the art market. The background of the birth of contemporary art in China is that in the middle and late 20th century, after the war, China experienced the baptism of the Cultural Revolution, suffered unprecedented destruction of human nature, coupled with the barren education, and then experienced the baptism of the market economy, as well as the Westernization upsurge brought about by the reform and opening up in the 1980s, and in a short time, came into contact with a large number of commercial and literary information from developed capitalist countries, thus giving birth to contemporary art in China. Development comparison: Western contemporary art is mainly local traditional art. At the end of 19, the trade exchange between the East and the West opened a window to the East, which enabled artists to absorb a large number of oriental art languages and successfully combine this language with some active philosophical thoughts at that time. It can be said that modern art is the result of a cultural collision, which is formally manifested in the fusion of eastern morphemes in the western context. This kind of foreign products gradually internalize and blend into the unique language of western contemporary art. Objectively speaking, many forms of contemporary art in China are mainly imported products, including oil painting, which has a short history and a very imperfect system in China. After the baptism of the Cultural Revolution, society held a destructive attitude towards serious art for a long time. Therefore, the oriental context of China's art exists in name only, which basically does not constitute cultural integration, but only describes something of China from the perspective of westerners. From the perspective of development, western art is sustainable and sustainable, while contemporary art in China is not sustainable, so it is hard to say sustainable development. Compared with western painting, Chinese painting has its own obvious characteristics. Chinese painting does not pay attention to perspective, does not emphasize the change of light and color of objects in nature, does not stick to the appearance of objects, but emphasizes the expression of the author's subjective interest. Chinese painting emphasizes "vivid with form" and pursues a feeling that "beauty lies between similarity and dissimilarity": what about western painting? It emphasizes "writing form with form", and of course, it also pays attention to the expression of "God" in the process of creation. But it pays great attention to the integrity and generality of the picture. Some people say that western painting is an art of "reappearance" and Chinese painting is an art of "expression", which makes sense. Compared with western painting, Chinese painting has its own unique characteristics, which are also manifested in its artistic techniques, artistic division, composition, pen and ink and color application. Chinese painting can be divided into three forms according to artistic techniques: meticulous brushwork, freehand brushwork and concurrent brushwork. Meticulous brushwork is a neat and meticulous painting with a pen, with clear and meticulous details and extremely delicate brushstrokes, so it is called "meticulous brushwork". And freehand brushwork? Compared with meticulous brushwork, vigorous and concise brushwork is used to describe the shape and spirit of objects and express the author's feelings. You should have high generalization ability, implicit artistic conception with twice the result with half the effort, accurate writing, skillful writing and handy writing. The form of part-time writing is the comprehensive application of meticulous brushwork and freehand brushwork. From the branch of art, Chinese painting can be divided into three branches: figures, landscapes and flowers and birds, which are mainly divided according to the different objects depicted. Animals, pommel horses, insects, fruits and vegetables in Chinese painting can be classified into these three categories respectively. Chinese painting also has its own characteristics in composition, pen, ink and color. Generally speaking, the composition of Chinese painting does not follow the Huang Jinlv of western painting, and it is either a long scroll or a vertical axis, and the ratio of length to width is "unbalanced". But it can well express the special artistic conception and the painter's subjective interest. At the same time, Chinese painting and western painting are different in perspective. Perspective is the term of painting, that is, when painting, all objects are correctly represented on the plane, so that it has a sense of space and three-dimensional sense. This method is called perspective. Because the phenomenon of perspective is that the near is big and the far is small, it is often called the "near-far method". Western paintings generally use focus perspective, just like taking pictures. It is fixed on a foothold. Due to the limitation of space, everything taken into the lens will be taken truthfully, otherwise it will not be taken. Chinese painting is not necessarily fixed on a foothold, nor is it limited by a fixed horizon. It can move its foothold to paint according to the painter's feelings and needs, and absorb all visible and invisible scenes into its own picture. This perspective is called scatter perspective or multipoint perspective. As we all know, the famous paintings in the Northern Song Dynasty and Zhang Zeduan's The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival all adopt scattered perspective. The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival reflects the rich, complex and colorful scenes inside and outside Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. It takes Bianhe as the center, from distant Chinese painting to lively "Hongqiao"; The audience can see the city and the countryside; You can see both pedestrians on the bridge and ships under it. You can see not only the balcony trees nearby, but also the streets and river ports in the distance. Moreover, no matter where you stand, the proportion of scenery is similar. If you draw according to the method of focusing on machines in western painting, many places can't be drawn at all. This is a unique perspective method created by ancient Chinese painters according to the needs of content and artistic expression.
