The Formulation And Expansion In The Consciousness Of Subject

The human progress can be regarded as a result in each field, in which the exiting prerequisite had been criticized. Philosophy is a kind of creative activity, the reason why we use concepts such as subject and practice is not we can investigate a great deal of schools of art by using theses concepts at first, but we have seen the subject from these schools --All its practical process of formulation and expansion. Real thinking is to face the things themselves and to face the concrete things that can be seen, hence we begin to challenge the general knowledge, and query the prerequisite .The deliberation in this thesis which begun from the impressionism attempts to develop and apply the thinking of criticizing the prerequisite to concrete graphic schools, and this attempt not only exited in content, but also in form. It is the faith that only from practicing activity itself, we may get the criticism of the real meaning to the prerequisite . If a philosophy history is a history about thinking and being, then a history of art can be regarded as a process in which the subject principle moved towards the consciousness of object. In this process, philosophy is by way of carrying on its inherent thinking in logic form all the time. But the paces of mankind moved ahead were not only promoted and finished by human nous, but also the result of improving human perceptual idea . As goes with Leonardo.Da Vinci's word: "we should disdain the people of painting, because they neither love philosophy, does not like naturally either. Painting is the sole imitators of all visible things in nature. " This thesis attempts to sketch the contours of a rough map to understand the formulation and expansion of the consciousness of subject in impressionism and modern art .By walking along with this narrow and rugged road, we should find out the formulation and the expansion of the subject consciousness in impressionism and modern art through few cameos. Firstly in chapter one "the conversion of subject on vision meaning"we will know the principle of object in traditional painting. From Greece art, the principle of chasing truth run trough artistic creation all the time and the well-ordered form can be regarded as the external manifestation of the external principle of object. All has been changed after the 19th century; the consciousness of subject itself began to appear regardless of science, philosophy or painting. Secondly in chapter two "the development of the subject consciousness of impressionism in color idea "The constituent course of subject consciousness in painting has been described in concrete .The color is originally a media of people know the word and exchange with nature and know themselves. In our modern people's view, it was an important vision language, which appears in form of object but displays the emotion of subject. Color seems to be an instinctive subject in primitive man's view, which situated with color in an unconsciousness identity almost. The identity of this color and life was chaos. But we haven't kept primitive man's identity on the color and subject. In the field of thinking, the division has been made briefly between subject and the cognition about itself and cognitive target. The key of inherent color's object consciousness consisted in the strong consciousness of ontology, which just like the pursuing to nous in philosophy. The color didn't get back to subject again until the appearance of impressionism. Facing nature, artists expressed their own aesthetic emotion and created the works with independent value by using individualized instinct. In chapter three "the formulation of subject consciousness in composition of impressionism."It built up the consciousness of subject mainly in the angle of composition. In fact the subject of composition hashidden the history. From the principle of object of composition during Greece to middle age to the view of composition which has been included in a science category during renaissance and to the subject which was struggling in object viz the painting of Baroque style, composition has gone through the course during which the principle of object transformed to subject. In the view of impressionism, there was only one meaning about composition viz the creation of subject. They not only made subject acquit itself with abandon but also get rid of the principle of subject in the way of composition with color, so at last they unified subject and object with a pair of flowing eyes. In chapter four "the formulation of subject consciousness in material of impressionism ", the subject consciousness in material of impressionism has been the main expeditionary target. The material of painting mainly were religion, historical incident, personages and so on during the period of renaissance and realism. Impressionism changed the characteristic of selecting material; the material that comes from daily life has been a basis to think about subject. Among them, Edouard Monet's lunch on the meadow caused great response with its strong common people's consciousness. Edvaud Monet's Olympia can be regarded as a real practice subject. Claude Magnet's sunrise*impression as landscape painting seems to be the defiance of subject consciousness to solidification. It would be the carrying of life emotion and aesthetic when reaches Vincent Van Gogh's sunflowers. The subject is people here; the subject is the life itself. It is a synthesis of material and consciousness, which walking between society and nature. Next chapter "the influence of impressionism—the comprehensive formulation of subject consciousness in contemporary art "mainly Described the whole process of the expansion of subject consciousness in contemporary graphic schools such as Fauvism, Cubism, Abstractionlism. It is people's acquisition to themselves as subject that be the basis of modern philosophy and art, from which modern art has created a more wonderful world. It was Fauvism that stood in the breach which regardless color ascenter and began to unfur the individualize subject. "All, even color, were created"in the words of Henry Matisse "I described the feeling of I myself before describing the object .All that (regardless of subject of color) need created again". In the process of Fauvism questing the individualized subject, color and composition already haven't distinguished as in traditional meaning, so long as it can serve for subject. The appearance of Cubism terminated the process of the inherent returning of individualized subject by the center of color, and then the individualize subject than changed from various vision angles has appeared. Individualize subject only comprehended form a give it with life. Subject took the inside of nature go outside. Instead of experiencing the color with vision, subject displayed what they were thinking which appeared as image or as broken image by bitty composition. It wouldn't have any images at all when reached abstractionism, the thinking of subject and the impulse in hear all totally turned into a kind of individualized opinion. When the individualize subject were thinking about its supreme form together with the essential content that has been chasing, what it has shown and what it wanted shown and what it can show were the entirety of form and content that has been show already .It needn't draw Hegel's absolute spirit into Rodin's thing man to make us understand. Even if it was Hegel who agrees, Rodin can refuse either, because Rodin's thinking man displayed more extensive content. The point, line and side which has been shown by the freedom that the abstract spirit viz individualize subject was pursuing will never narrow than the meaning that has shown in Rodin's thinking man, it is wider in fact, because it refused the expression of any object inform at first, secondly it is its content, it turned into a repeated synonym that has been expressed already by its form. When it reached the stage of abstractionism the most effective method to understand the painting is not to understand. It is enough to pursue the freethinking about individualized subject. Philosophy has experienced this several periods, so does art: firstly, the era of thinking system and Max's criticism to impersonal rational; secondly, the analytic era and surmount scientific doctrine; Finaly it entered the era of experience.
