Research Status of Foreign Landscape Oil Paintings

Landscape painting is no longer limited to calligraphy pens, nor to the common ways of Chinese painting. Even some installation art has been included in the category of landscape painting. These all belong to throwing stones and asking for directions. As a major theme of landscape painting, it is still necessary to talk about the times. The times are a new artistic conception and a new language. The director of the Landscape Institute of China National Painting Academy said, "The ancients watched the landscape gradually, rode donkeys and climbed the mountain slowly. Now we see that nature is fragmented. We flew from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere and took the high-speed train through the mountain tunnel. It's sunny here, and it will be cloudy when crossing the tunnel. Different ways of sightseeing naturally bring different feelings about life. There is also the transformation from farming civilization to industrial civilization. Traditional landscape paintings mostly go boating and fishing in the lake and live in seclusion in the mountains, and there must be farewell, while industrial civilization has produced new scenes and artistic conception. Therefore, the contemporary nature of landscape painting should be our primary consideration. Otherwise, we follow the artistic conception of the ancients, and no matter how many changes in language and new forms, we still cannot express this era. " The greatest function of art is to stimulate human imagination and creativity through the imagination and creativity of artists. The contemporary nature of fine arts works is reflected in the theme, realistic theme and new form exploration that the painter is concerned about in his time. This form of exploring pen and ink is very traditional and freehand, with a new composition and perspective. There are requirements for subjective factors of creation, such as feelings, literary mind, people-centered creativity, imagination, etc., which should be influenced by excellent traditional culture and conform to the expression in contemporary context.
