How to feel the dynamic beauty of oil painting art from classic famous paintings?

Dynamic beauty usually refers to the visual and auditory beauty brought by the rhythmic dynamics, dynamic potential and fluctuating rhythm, melody and scene of an object. Dynamic beauty generally refers to the artistic expression of "movement", such as film and television, dance and music. People can understand the dynamic beauty through the obvious "form movement" and "sound movement" in the works.

As a visual art presented by plane images, oil painting is a static artistic expression in theory. But oil painting can also show pleasing dynamic beauty through rich changes in composition, modeling, color, brushwork and scene. So, how to understand and appreciate the dynamic beauty in oil painting? Here, the author tries to take some classic oil paintings as examples to discuss this issue with you.

First of all, appreciate the dynamic beauty of oil painting from its dramatic scenes.

Genesis is a giant mural created by the Renaissance artist Michelangelo on the dome of Romasis Ting Cathedral for four years and five months. The painting is divided into three parts and ten chapters, and successfully depicts 343 vivid characters with different shapes. The best part is Adam and Eve. In the picture, Adam and Eve have just been given life by the creator. Adam leans on the left end of the picture, as if trying to reach out to the creator (God), while his eyes focus on Eve protected by the creator at the right end of the picture. Interestingly, Eve is staring at Adam's direction at this moment ... The reader looks at this scene, as if he can feel that Adam and Eve are getting closer and closer.

Rob the Daughter of Reunion Pass is the representative work of Rubens, a baroque oil painter in17th century. Based on ancient Greek mythology, this painting depicts a pair of twin brothers, castel and Polucus, born to Zeus and Rita, who fell in love with two daughters and a pair of twin sisters of Giuseppe, king of Messini. So casto Ear and Pollux left the scene where Sipas' two daughters were robbed, taking advantage of the misty morning light before dawn. The whole picture shows a dramatic scene in which one side desperately grabs the other side and struggles to break free, and the sense of movement is very strong.

Second, appreciate the dynamic beauty of oil painting from its character form.

Take Mrs Godiva on horseback by John Curnell as an example;

Madame Godiva on horseback was written by John Curnell, a famous British painter in the18th century, based on a beautiful story that has been circulating in Britain for nearly a thousand years. Synopsis: Beauty godiva married the Governor of Coventry and became his wife. When she saw that the people in the city were embarrassed by high taxes, she begged her husband to reduce the tax burden of the people. The governor's husband refused, and Godiva was unhappy all day. One day, the Governor told godiva that if godiva dared to ride naked in the city, he would agree to reduce taxes.

The governor wanted to use this remark to urge Godiva to give up the idea of reducing taxes for the people, and he didn't want Godiva to agree immediately. Early the next morning, Mrs Godiva rode a chestnut horse in the house and walked leisurely in the streets of the city. Businessmen and people in the city all know Mrs Godiva's good intentions, and they all closed their doors one after another on this day. Pedestrians on the road saw Mrs. Godiva riding a horse in the distance, and all turned their heads to one side to avoid ... Mrs. Godiva's kindness finally touched the governor and ordered tax relief for the people. Although Lady Godiva on horseback is a static picture, readers will feel that the hostess is riding a horse in the streets of the city from the expression and dynamic posture of Lady Godiva.

Third, appreciate the dynamic beauty of oil painting from the novel modeling.

Take Xia Jiaer's love as an example;

The two are sincere and like-minded. Bella's cleverness, intelligence, agility and cuteness gave Xia Jiaer a lot of creative inspiration. Every year on their wedding anniversary, Xia Jiaer draws a picture for his wife. Love was written on their third wedding anniversary, and it is Xia Jiaer's most cherished work.

The background of the picture is clear blue sky, and houses, trees and green lawns are scattered on the ground. The painter stood in the center of the painting, with a well-proportioned figure, his left hand held high, butted with his wife Bella's right hand, and propped up Bella in a purple gauze skirt. Bella's body is completely suspended in mid-air, showing a handstand dance. On the grass next to the painter, there is a pile of colorful flowers. It is so full of vitality and poetry. The painter wants to tell the world with such a picture: love is great, love is wonderful, the power of love is infinite, and love is unrestrained as if it can fly freely.

The whole picture is beautiful, and the characters are vivid and full of beauty.

Fifth, appreciate the dynamic beauty of oil painting from the light and shade.

Take Rembrandt's Anatomy Course of Doctor Toure as an example;

Rembrandt is one of the greatest Dutch painters in the17th century and an important representative of the "Dutch small painting school". Rembrandt's greatest contribution to oil painting is that he enriched and perfected the "light and shade method" of oil painting. Rembrandt is good at using dark colors such as black or brown as the background and highlighting the subject with white. It looks like bundles of white light are concentrated in the center of the picture, which not only highlights the main body but also is full of dynamic beauty. Dr Toure's anatomy class is Rembrandt's masterpiece. The painting depicts the scene of Dr. Toure explaining and demonstrating anatomical surgery before the operating table. Dr Toure is surrounded by his colleagues and students. Because the painter skillfully used the relationship between light and shade, it seems that this painting is not static, but that Dr. Toure is really teaching the course of clinical experimental anatomy, which is very real and vivid.

Sixth, appreciate the dynamic beauty of oil painting from the brush strokes.

In this regard, the post-impression oil painter Van Gogh's Sunflower, Starry Sky and Wheat Field provide classic examples. These works not only show the painter's exquisite painting skills, but also are full of the painter's fiery thoughts and feelings. We can see that the sunflower in the picture is full of vitality and enthusiasm. It is not a picture on paper, but a vibrant and vivid sunflower tree. Starry Sky seems to let people see the endless night sky. In the silence, the clouds are surging, and the moon looks at the world around it, including mountains, giant towers and trees. It stands in the dark night, revealing an empty and mysterious color; The golden wheat in "The Wheat Field" makes people feel grateful to Mother Earth, and at the same time, they also feel the joy and joy of a bumper harvest in sight.
