Why do revolutionary oil paintings in New China always make people feel delicate and greasy?

In the history of modernist art, expressionism is an important artistic trend of thought and school. In a broad sense, expressionism refers to the phenomenon that artists use distorted and abstract expression techniques to express their spiritual world or subjective feelings

(1). In many works such as realism, symbolism, cubism and abstraction, the shadow of "expression" can be seen. The word "performance" first appeared in the Matisse exhibition held in Paris, France in 191. However, his development in the west has roughly experienced several stages: early French and German expressionism, American abstract expressionism and German neo-expressionism. In the late 197s and early 198s, Neo-expressionism began to appear in Germany, and then it became popular in western painting circles. As the name implies, he took expressionism in the early 2th century as a model. Of course, new expressionism is not simply a repetition of expressionism, let alone a mechanical imitation. As a reaction of pop art and minimalism, neo-expressionism takes self-expression as its main theme, and shows a tendency of regression to expressionism in the early 2th century in terms of pictures, brushwork and emotional appeal. However, due to their different times, they are different in artistic thoughts, theme selection and expression techniques (p>(2). Neo-expressionism is the product of the historical environment composed of German political crisis and terrorism. He accepted the philosophical concept of existentialism in theory, studied the artistic tradition of abstract expressionism in practice, paid attention to the emotional outburst and improvisation in the process of painting, pursued a rough and primitive simple and enthusiastic aesthetic style, and strongly advocated painting as it is, paying attention to painting, exploring the content, color and form of self-language. His works are mainly manifested in the melancholy situation of remembering the national tradition and the sad mentality of reflecting on the history of defeat. Some of his works castigate the ugly phenomenon of society, while others laugh at his incompetence?

the "85 new wave art" that appeared in China in 198s is the origin of China's new expressionist oil painting art. Generally speaking, the new expressionist oil painting in China mainly refers to the expressive oil painting art in China since 199s. The contemporary neo-expressionist oil painting art in China is produced under the influence of traditional painting forms and western expressionism. Since the "Cultural Revolution", due to the long-term cultural autocracy, the artist's personality has been extremely suppressed. In the 198s, due to the opening-up of foreign policy, western culture was introduced continuously, and the introduction of modern oil painting art in various countries provided a powerful impetus and condition for the exploration and breakthrough of oil painting creation in China. Many oil painters try to get rid of the old ways of old themes and painting languages, and move towards the journey of using various methods to express objects. In addition, the traditional culture of China, the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, the philosophy of Zen and the mysticism of ancient China have also been re-recognized and understood. China's neo-expressionist oil painting art has accumulated some creative experience and a large number of backbone forces, from the early complete imitation to today's standing in China and facing China's problems, and devoted himself to developing an artistic language system with China characteristics. He is a expressive art different from academic realism, abstract and conceptual art, with a wide range of subjects and full of vitality. He is neither rigid in academic realism, but also distanced himself from abstract art and under-frame painting. His expression of people's thoughts, emotions and consciousness is entirely based on sincerity.

The color of painting can express the essence of things through the inspiration of the mind and the gestation of materials, and at the same time make the emotions collide violently. Only the colors carefully arranged and in line with the artist's strong feelings are the colors with vitality. Color is power, that is, radiant energy that has a positive or negative impact on us, whether we are aware of it or not. Color effect should be experienced and understood not only visually but also psychologically and symbolically. Expressionist painters such as Monk tried to restore spiritual content to painting. The purpose of their creation is to express their inner spiritual experience with color forms and means. In China's new expressionist oil paintings, oil painters often try to express the core of China's traditional spirit or people's yearning, restlessness, decadence and even crazy spiritual world through the power of color. In China's new expressionist oil paintings, we can often see exaggerated and strong colors intertwined with real emotions.

Most of China's new expressionist oil paintings are mainly black, white, red and brown, and the main color of the picture is obscure. Investigating its origin, he is not only influenced by western neo-expressionism, but also closely related to local specific regional culture and typical life themes. Western Neo-expressionist painters seem to be more direct and open in their connection with pop image language, but they are a little reserved in China. After the "85' trendy art", it has been seeking the combination of artistic conception and painting.
